I have a 24-240mm 4.0-6.3 but here lately my shoots have been sunset into night and the very affordable 50mm along with the 1.8 aperture lets me bring in enough light to get some amazing shots without a long exposure. This 50mm also performs very well in bright light to provide an exceptional blur for backgrounds and focuses on the subject with crisp textures.

New to photography love this lens!! Great for portrait type photos!

Very good beginner lens for all around outdoor photography -- very inexpensive while having great quality. A staple.

I’m still a beginner when it comes to my camera use, but this lens has given me the ability to shoot high quality photos with ease. There is a distinct difference in this lens than the kit lens I bought, this gives me much more clarity when I’m shooting at a closer distance.

This lens is compact, lightweight, and a very versatile tool to help you in this craft that we all love and share! The bokeh is exceptional and I just love the creamy and that blurred background looks and how the aperture just helps create those bubble shapes for the lights. The amount of flexibility I have for low-light photography also doubled with my current lens arsenal and just having fun experimenting and creating professional shots with it! Also, because of the 1.8 aperture, the subject and background feels more immersive in the story that you are trying to create so it is definitely a great lens to buy and especially at this price point. Little tips from me is that you should prepare to try and get closer or farther from your subject since this is a fixed lens (if you haven’t tried any lens similar to this) and you can’t zoom in our out but it challenges you to try and see more different angles and find perspectives in places you haven’t explored before, tedious, but definitely worth every second. Beginners and professionals alike should have and, dare I say, NEED this in their camera gear.

Love how the pictures come out, light weight and fits anywhere doesn't take a lot of space.

This is a great lens. For the money I do not think you can beat it. If you consider that the L version of this lens I believe is 2,000 this is an awesome lens for under 200 bucks!!!! I took it out and took very sharp pics and with it being so light weight it made the Canon R5 i used it on a fun lightweight combo! It performed very well in low light.

cheap, sharp and light what else you want from a lens

Brand new to photography so I am not a pro but from what I have seen this lense works very well if you have decent lighting and even was able to take a nice photo of my wife's new mixer in the dark. Video seemed a bit less impressive becasue I don't have a steady hand just yet so there's that piece. Manually mode defintely has been a smoother experience compared to auto, again I am new but the blur can be too aggressive when I was using auto so I have dabbled with some settings

I recently purchased my first camera in probably 25 years, a Canon EOS RP, and wanted to start with an affordable lens. This 50mm does an amazing job! Im most impressed by the portraits but since I'm not one to post pictures of my son I'll share some alternate photos instead. This little guy does great in low light and is very forgiving. Just buy one!

Image quality is super good for a camera lens at this price. Even though it’s a set lens I think it’s super useful.

Compact and powerful and very affordable. I was blown out of the images that it captures. Easy to carry around when travelling. A great Nifty Fifty indeed. Paired with my R6 mark ii.

The good old NIFTY FIFTY. I took many portraits with this camera and it is just amazing. I am looking to get a 35mm next, but this handles all portrait jobs well.

If you want to begin photography this is the best and affordable lens for nice portrait shots. I’m in love !!

Perfect match for my canon R50. Makes taking beautiful photos easy. You won’t find a better lens at this price point.

Used this lens with my r5. Worked well for what I needed which was an affordable lens to take pics of my 15 month old daughter. I’m a wildlife photographer and didn’t want to spend a ton of money on a piece of glass for family photos and this lens fit my needs perfectly.

A very powerful lens, very professional go to lens. Absolutely amazing quality. Totally the best budget friendly lens. I find myself using this one more then my $1000 lens

Excellent lens for rf cameras, the quality of the images for the price is worth every penny, it’s very light and compact you wouldn’t notice it in your camera bag.

If you’re looking to get started this lens is what you need!! It takes STUNNING portraits, I wish I would have bought it sooner!!

This adapter is a lens saver for sure. Great quality! You dont lose much in terms of framing unless utilizing another pancake lens. Zoom lenses work alright too. But really i need this one for the Macro lens. Works perfectly.
