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.

    I strongly recommend any beginning photographer have this lens in their bag. For the money, you get a 1.8 lens that's great for portraits and fantastic with low light situations. Sure, there are better ones, but they cost 2-3x as much. You get a lot of bang for your buck with this little guy!
