Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Canon 50mm lens, often referred to as the "nifty fifty," is a staple in the photography world. Known for its versatility, compact design, and exceptional image quality, this prime lens is a must-have for both amateur and professional photographers.

Super dope lens for the price great beginner lens!

Great walk around lens. It’s actually sharper than the 50mm 1.4 EF version which is nice. Easy recommend for people on a budget.

Great little lens. have been using it for sometime now and have been getting bangers with it. Light weight and easy to use

I got this for my Canon RP camera that initially came with the 24-105mm lense, which is a great lense, but nothing compared to this 50mm lense. The photos this lense puts out are so detailed and vibrant in comparison to the 24-105mm. Not to mention it’s a fantastic cost. Can’t recommend this lense enough for anyone with a compatible camera.

I have a Canon EOS R digital, mirrorless camera. The Canon RF 50 mm f/1.8 STM lens is an affordable, optically fast prime lens. At f/1.8, it is optically fast, and is my best lens for low light level photography. With a focal length of 50 mm, it can be used for most common situations. The lens is small and lightweight and has the RF ring to allow customizable control of the camera, e.g., aperture, shutter speed, or ISO. It is a great addition to my collection of Canon RF, EF, and FL lenses.

If you’re on a budget with your Canon RF mount camera, pick this “nifty-fifty” up. It’s a no brainer. So it doesn’t have IS. Use a tripod. Or purchase that big pricey lens ;) It’s a tool for those on a budget (and those that aren’t). And if you’re focused on composition and attention to detail in your movement, etc like you should be, you can create outstanding video/images with this lens. Don’t overthink you gear. Focus on your craft. Get it.

This lens is a must have! Very affordable and still creates sharp images. Very easy to use and light weight.

The lens to have in you kitty is what i would say Portraits are so easy with it needles to say that with very minimal effort they come out super good Yes its STM type but for the cost difference between USM and ISM for this u will never be disappointed

This lens is lightweight, which is perfect for mirrorless camera use. Pictures are sharp and I like the control ring.

Amazing lens for the price and just as good as the prime lens.

The ‘Nifty-fifty’, ‘Fantastic plastic” or whatever you want to call it is STILL the go-to portrait lens for millions of photographers. Can’t EVER go wrong!

This lens is sharp and for the price point its essential for anyone's kit. It gives your photos a professional quality

Love this 50mm lens! Love the sharpness of it and the bokeh effect it gives.

Very nice Lens for the money. Was pleased with the quality, shipping time, and ease of use.

Everyone should own one of these, cheap and so much sharper than any kit lens

Its a good lens to have in the camera bag! I would definitely recommend!

Great lenns for canon r series the 55 and long distance

good to use. Very pleasant experience, perfect quality.

It's a nifty fifty, and offers a great value in the otherwise expensive RF lens system. The image quality is excellent, even at f/1.8, though the corners are a little soft at the wide open aperture. The reason this earns 4 instead of 5 stars is due to two reasons. The first is it suffers from focus breathing. Additionally, the auto-focus motor is noisy, though fast and precise. If you've only ever shot on a kit lens, throw this into your camera kit with its low price and you will be very thankful you have it!
