    My first lens back in the day was a Canon nifty fifty. I'm glad Canon brought this out for it's RF line. Canon really needs some more reasonably priced glass. This little lens is compact and gets the job done for a great price.

    LOVE THIS LENS. Backstory about previous version not this version: I've been shooting with Canon DSLR since 2007. The EF Nifty 50mm version 2, I did not like. It was one of my first lenses and it quickly lost its awe for me. It was noisy. I felt like it hunted for focus. I switched to ALL mirrorless and purchased this RF lens, much later in my mirrorless journey because I hated the first so much. OMG I fell in love with this lens. It is not noisy, slow to focus, and produces GREAT portraits. I 100% recommend buying this one, for not only beginners but advanced photographers like myself!
