    Great lens. Ended up returning as I found it way cheaper elsewhere. My best buy wouldn’t price match

    Beast of a lens...

    This little lens is a BEAST. The Nifty 50 never fails. This RF addition is super sharp, not as sharp as my 85mm 1.2 but a quarter of the price. I highly recommend it if you are on the fence. Very fast focusing

    I’m loving my 50 mm canon lens and Best Buy made the purchase fast and easy. Simply ordered online and it was ready with 30 to 45 minutes.

    For the price, it’s a fine lens! It’s not the best build IMO but I do understand it’s a nifty-fifty. Image quality is sharp, autofocus is very good. The chromatic aborations from this lens can be a bit unruly to manage and correct but most people won’t even notice unless you are a photo editor. As a consumer lens, this lens would cover most of the bases for a standard focal length lens.

    Love this little cute lens. I have the big heavy 28-70 lens for clients and use this little lens for my family so it’s easier to take to the beach, family trips, etc. The canon r6 camera is magic so even this cheap lens creates beautiful sharp photos!

    This is my first fixed pancake lens. For the price I absolutely loved it. For anyone who just joins the Canon family. This might be the best bet for portrait shooting.

    Another great nifty 50mm from Canon. A way better option that the current kit lenses in terms of image sharpness and background blur.

    Far Underpriced

    I've had this for a few months now. It's a vastly underpriced lens. If you have an RF mount camera body and want a small lens with outstanding rendering, color, and focus speed– this is the lens.

    This a lean, mean 50mm! It's sooo tiny, I can always bring it along any time. 1.8 means gorgeous shots, I don't know why you wouldn't have this as a staple prime.

    Great lens for the price. Like really good for the price. I also own a much more expensive EF 50mm f/1.2 L and honestly this holds up well to it.
