Customers are saying

Customers commend the RF50mm F1.8 STM lens for its superb image quality, reasonable price, and great aperture. Its compact size, light weight, and ease of use are also appreciated. However, some customers have noted the presence of chromatic aberration in photos and a small amount of noise during video recording.

    Beautiful lens at good price. Great for portraits, pet pictures and even landscapes with a little creativity. Pin sharp focus great bokeh- pretty much what you would expect but at $199 great value

    I love this lens. I truly understand why people call it the nifty fifty. The staff at Best Buy were also very helpful and knowledgeable.

    Results were sharper and much better bokeh as compared to the kit lens included with my Canon R50. There is a considerable crop when using on an APSC sensor, and this does make it hard to use indoors. Great place to start due to the affordable price.

    I love this little 50 mm lens, works great with my canon R, it is fast and i really like the bokeh you get from it. Great price-quality ratio.

    New to photography & was only using kit lens so this blew me away. Great picture quality, focus takes a while to hit target but it’ll do

    I LOVE THIS LENS!!! The price point is reasonable as well and it's lightweight and compact. If you're thinking about buying this, don't think just do it!

    Best bang for the buck. Sharp, fast, great DOF. Am I describing the $2700 85/1.2? Nope, the 50/1.8 that's $2500 CHEAPER. Just get it, you'll find more and more uses for it on your R-body Canon.

    For the price, the nifty 50 is always great. Shooting action in low light environments this is a good value choice. Soon the 1.2 but for now, you can beat the price

    Do yourself a favor and get this. All the reviews are true, this lens is amazing. Just make sure to stand far enough away from the subject. Just search for sample photos and that is what you will be able to go.

    Great photos from a relatively budget fixed lens. Great for depth of focus shots or portrait photography, especially if you need the extra light from the high aperture.
