    Greta for portrait photography if you’re not wanting to spend a whole lot, but still get that quality of a great portrait photo. Always an additional to add to the collection because it’s very versatile.

    Very fast focusing especially when paired with an rf mount camera body. Takes full advantage of the new in-body stabilization on the r5/r6. STM still a bit behind USM and Nano USM in terms of precision and makes a small amount of noise in video but for a tenth of the price, it can't be beat!

    I have had two different Canon EF 50mm lenses in the past. Both were great lenses for the money. This lens is even better! I am impressed with the detail this lens provides as well as the quickness and quietness of the focus motor. I really can't believe that there is a better lens for a better price.

    One of the most inexpensive lenses in the RF line, this is pretty much a no brainer to buy. It basically sees what the human eye sees, so those are the shots you can expect. Works great on my EOS R8.
