Great lens and accessories for the price. The lens hood isn't made by Canon but does work if you are patient.

It's a good looking lens and feels good in the hand. The only thing I would like to seen was a hood that come with it

A go-to lens with exceptional ability to make dreamy images! Light eeight yet robust, this design has been around for a long time, and is probably one of the most depended on short primes out there.

I couple this lens with my R6 body. It works as expected with a great gain due to the f/1.4 .

Canon?s best kept secret. It?s just as sharp as some of Canon?s sharpest lenses. No need to pay more for L series lenses.

Great bokeh. Only good to concentrate on one subject. Everything else becomes blurry.

This is the only lens I own (right now). I am very pleased with it. I'm making it work for Photos and Video, for now. I use it with my Canon 90D body. Spend the extra money for this baby. Use it for my business Caution To Wind. See attached photos.

Great lens! Perfect value for a Canon 50mm. Better image and aperture than the 1.8 and less than 1/2 the price of the 50mm 1.2.

Great low light video and portraits! The USM was a little louder Than I was expecting compared to my ISM lenses, but the speed is worth it!

Excellent Learning Lens
By Kashius
I've been reading the reviews on this lens, and I am stunned to find out that the biggest complaint is about the AF eventually breaking. I am a professional photographer, and I was taught many years ago not to rely on auto focus. I rarely use the AF, so I guess I don't have to worry about the lens ever breaking. I bought this lens for two reasons. 1. it was affordable. 2. I wanted to improve how I take portraits Not only did this lens do that for me, but I discovered that this lens is also ...

Excellent low light lens
By TomH D.
I've had my EF 50mm 1.4 lens for many years. My Canon 6D normally carries a 24-105 L series lens. The 50mm is used when I want to lighten my load or shoot photos indoors with natural light. Note that 1.2 and 1.4 lens opened to their widest apertures have a very narrow depth of field which, if focused properly, will provide the target in crisp focus and intentionally blur items in front or being the subject. My lens has been excellent at focusing on it's own and the manual override without thr...

Standard lens featuring superb quality and portability. Two high-refraction lens elements and Gaussian optics eliminate astigmatism and suppress astigmatic difference. Crisp images with little flare are obtained even at the maximum aperture.
