    Excellent quality. Beautiful images. My only complaint is the STM does not focus as fast as USM. But would it be worth an additional $2800 for the 50mm 1.2 because it has faster focus? Probably not, maybe if you are a professional that charges high dollar.

    Beast of a lens...

    This little lens is a BEAST. The Nifty 50 never fails. This RF addition is super sharp, not as sharp as my 85mm 1.2 but a quarter of the price. I highly recommend it if you are on the fence. Very fast focusing

    This is a great basic lens to have for any level of photographer. It is still the only lens I have right now, but it works fine for what I do. I mainly shoot dog photos at events for fun, and I always still get great photos.

    For the price, it’s a fine lens! It’s not the best build IMO but I do understand it’s a nifty-fifty. Image quality is sharp, autofocus is very good. The chromatic aborations from this lens can be a bit unruly to manage and correct but most people won’t even notice unless you are a photo editor. As a consumer lens, this lens would cover most of the bases for a standard focal length lens.

    High quality superb lens!!!!!!!! This little guy is great. The autofocus is fast and the new control ring is a huge bonus. It’s not that much of a difference from the original EF canon 50mm 1.8 but it’s great to mount on my canon eos R6 without the adapter. Love it!!!

    This is my first fixed pancake lens. For the price I absolutely loved it. For anyone who just joins the Canon family. This might be the best bet for portrait shooting.
