Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the image quality, price, ease of use, low light performance, weight, and size of the FE 50mm f/1.8 Standard Prime Lens. Many appreciate its affordability and how lightweight and compact it is. However, some customers note that the autofocus could be improved, and some have mentioned that it produces some noticeable noise. The lens is generally well-regarded for its performance and value.

    Fine starter 50 mm, wish I had waited but it served it's purpose and I honestly haven't used it since. *( I shoot professionally knowing I wasn't purchasing the best think just needed a quick grab and go lens for a shoot).
