    It feels very high quality for the price you paid. Highly recommend having this lens in your camera bag or on your camera all the time. Paired it with the Canon EOS RP. Super lightweight. Easy to use. Mounts perfectly. Doesn't make your camera look bulky like other 50 mm. Nifty 50 is a stable.

    Canon 50mm Lens Review I recently bought the Canon 50mm lens, and I have to say — it’s been an excellent investment, especially for portrait photography. The lens is fantastic for capturing people up close with beautiful sharpness and a soft, creamy background. I’ve already used it for three senior picture sessions, and the results have been outstanding. The images come out crisp, with great color and depth. It's also really lightweight and easy to carry around during longer shoots. Focusing is quick and accurate, even in different lighting conditions. Overall, if you’re looking for an affordable, high-quality lens for portraits, the Canon 50mm is an amazing choice. Highly recommended!

    I recently bought my first real camera, so I'm not a photographer by any means. Based on a suggestion from a YouTube video that this is one of three lenses that are a must for the EOS R50, this is the first one I bought (other than the kit lens) due to the low price. I love this lens. I'm very happy with my purchase.

    this is bar for one of them that be best lens. I have yet for use for the RF mount The sharpness, the wide range of aperture pair that with the high ISO and it's been nothing but just short of an amazing experience and I'm so happy I went to Best Buy when I did because I've had nothing but great reviews about the system as a hole for my camera!!!!

    The MUST HAVE lens for RF mount shooters

    This is everything I expected it to be. I had tge old EF version and I lived it but after upgrading my body to the R6 I felt it was easier to get the native mount to cut out the adapter. The lens produces nice clean images and gives nice bokeh for the price. 200.00 is a steal!

    I love this lens. Especially if you are new to the RF line and want to get some native lenses. This is the best option by far that every photographer should have in their bag. beautiful bokeh, light weight, low light capabilities.

    Canon RF 50 mm F1.8 STM Lens…excellent lens

    The Canon RF 50 mm F1.8 STM Lens was the first lens I purchased for my R5 and I couldn’t have been happier with the performance and value it offers. It renders beautiful images out of my R5. I really like the snappy auto focus and light weight of the lens. It’s a great lens to start off with mirrorless and also a great backup if you already own the RF 50 1.2 USM. I highly recommend!

    Ultra portable and easy to use. Amazing portraits with this lens. Couldnt ask for more. Get the RF series over the EF. You’ll be happy you did.

    Best investment of my life. As a starter photographer this is a great start with great results. If I can’t give one word to describe this lense would be “ Perfection “ … Run over and get you this lense you won’t be disappointed. I’m not a promoter just a person trying to start a business and this for me is a win.

    It’s hard to get crazy bokeh for cheap and there’s nothing better than the nifty fifty aka 50 1.8 (made by literally all 4 camera brand giants). It does suffer from its issues mostly being chromatic aberration and softness at wide open but the bokeh is just *chefs kiss*. I always recommend this lens after a general zoom lens (18-55, 24-105, etc). You can’t go wrong for the price point.

    A lens that everyone needs to have

    This is the cheapest lens for FR line of lens. It is similar to its EF version in most function but sell $75 dollars more. Every Canon shooter knows about EF version, and we know how it is like. The FR version is slightly better than the EF in macro, and sharpness. There are couple minor issues that bother me. First of all If you have LENS DRIVE WHEN AF IMPOSSIBLE turned on, it will hunt for focal point when you turn it on with lens cover. Secondly there is noticeable chromatic aberration on photo. However, this is the lens that everyone needs to have for spare lens.

    The Canon RF 50mm lens is a must-have for any photography enthusiast! The image quality is absolutely stunning, with sharpness and clarity that bring your photos to life. The wide aperture allows for beautiful background blur and excellent low-light performance. It's a versatile lens that's perfect for portraits, street photography, and so much more. I highly recommend it!

    Do you own a Canon camera with an RF mount? Then you probably want this in your bag. I don't make the rules, I just know a prime 50mm is an incredibly fun and useful lens, and Canon makes a pretty decent nifty fifty. I know, because it's become my default lens. Are there better 50mm on the market? Yeah, probably. But not at this price. And you're getting a great Canon product.
