    Great little lens. I love the detatils it add to my images and with the 1.8 aperture it blurrs out the background nicely

    I opted to get this instead of the adapter for my existing Ef 50mm lens and I’m glad I did. It sharp, and affordable for such a great 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.

    Great lens for the price! This focal length is my personal favorite for portrait photography. I spent so much on the R6 camera body, I couldn't afford to go all out for an expensive lens, so I opted for this one because I was used to using the 50mm 1.8 on my Rebel t6i camera body. I love it! It's a great lens if you're on a budget!
