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 the biggest bang for you buck. At around $200 feels like it's prices way higher for the quality you get out of it. Beautiful 1.8 shots close up with a creamy blurry background. Def worth the price it is, surprised it isn't more.

    It’s a really amazing lens for someone who likes shooting in dark and wants close up portraits. It really performs with that f/1.8 . Just get it I would say. Best and cheapest lens out there.
