    Great value lens for low lighting, the F1.8 is great for that and shallow depth of field. Also super lightweight, so easy to travel with. Focus is quick

    Best value for money lens and a must have to complement any SLR. I had the EF version of the "nifty 50" for about 10 years before updating to RF version as I updated to R5 and couldn't have been more excited!

    Excellent value for the money. The lens definitely hunts a little in poor lighting, but it’s hard to beat for the cost.

    Nice nifty fifty. Changing from EOS lens on prime lens is what I will do first and this is the one you start with then go 35mm and then 85mm. F 1.8 to 2.8. Fast enough in most shooting events.

    No brainer - probably should be in the camera bag of anyone with a Canon RF camera. It's so cheap, doesn't take up any room in your bag and can be thrown on the camera quick if you're looking for shallow depth of field.
