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.

    This lens is awesome. Like many other reviews have stated, the time it takes to focus is longer than other lenses I have. Other than that, superb.

    Its a good little lens for the price it was. I will be changing it out soon though because it is fairly slow in terms of focusing. It also is a bit noisy, which is distracting to me. Its worth it for beginners or those who aren't ready to pull the trigger on the pricier 50mm f/1.4

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great lens takes Sharp and crisp photos. It is much better than the kit lens. The only reason why I gave it four stars was because it’s hard to get on. But I would recommend this is somebody else

    Great lens, but especially a great price for a full frame lens! The autofocus can be a bit loud and doesn’t work very fast so good luck with getting pictures in motion. Good for low light portraits.
