I always keep this lens attached to my R6. Much more useful than a body cap, and at $200, not much more expensive if you lose or break it. The fact that it takes some of the sharpest images I've ever seen (regardless of price) is an obvious bonus. Amazing lens for situations when you just need to get a good picture and you need it quickly. Plastic build and not weather resistant, but the mount is metal and the plastic is really, really good. At no point did I think this lens feels cheap. Overall, 11/10 would never hesitate to recommend this lens.

Despite not having Image Stabilization, the photos do come out very crisp with the ISO increased to 800-1250. The details this gorgeous lens produces is just awesome. I highly recommend this lens priced at $169.00. However, I wish it had come with a lens hood. All in all, this Canon RF 50mm F1.8 is a worthy addition to your photography arsenal.
