Top Rated Gear: Used Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard Autofocus Lens undefined

This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6 oz. (130g). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

I recommend

Delivers outstanding performance at an incredibly affordable price point. Its wide maximum aperture of f/1.8 allows for excellent low-light shooting and creates beautiful background separation with smooth, creamy bokeh. The lens is remarkably sharp, making it ideal for portraits, street photography, and everyday shooting.  Definitely a must have

Outstanding value

Simply amazing at what it does: really nothing more to say

Love this lens!!!

Wonderful quality, shipped fast, works great, takes amazing photos

Love it!

My perfect lens for everyday photography. I am a passionate photographer, I always use this lens with my EOS Rebel SL3.

Great Lens

MY "GO-TO" lens in many photographic moments!  A very versatile lens creating beautiful clear and focused images.

MY "GO-TO" Lens!

Love my 50mm f1.8 lens! Wonderful to shoot indoors and in the shade outside.  I can use the lowest aperture and use sjutter speed to light up face.. i didn't even use a flash and my subject was still clear. I get a perfect blur background when I do close ups. I also shot skateboarders and get the quick action shots. Love it!!

In the shade.

For $126 this lens is an absolute steal. It is tack sharp, the bokeh is beautiful, and it is lightweight. 
However, the reason I gave this 4 stars, not 5 is because the auto-focus is a little slow and the focus ring feels extremely fragile. 
Overall great lens that I would recommend to anyone.

Great Image, Slow Auto-focus

The 50 mm S TM lens is very unique in every aspect. The s TM motor inside of it is so quiet. It's great for video micro video. It's just an amazing lens.

Everybody knows about the nifty fifty! It's a wonderfully small prime lens that has a fast aperture for a cheap price. The STM variant does seems quite a bit better from the previous version. I have used this lens on my Canon T3, T5i, and now my R8. It works perfectly for portraits or if you need more light in darker situations. It is softer at f/1.8, but sharpens up around f/2.8, which is still perfectly usable. It's a little tight on crop though, but I felt it was was easier to use on full frame for more everyday situations. I'm mostly planning on switching to the RF 35mm, but the 50mm is still an invaluable tool to have in most photographer's and even videographer's bag.

Affordable, fast, fun!

The lens had no signs of wear. I am getting great images from this one. Great buy for both beginners and seasoned shooters. I'm loving it.

Great order

Exactly what I ordered. I suggest to check if your camera is a crop sensor or not before buying this, because it makes a difference in the lens' purpose. I would recommened it to my friends. I have a Canon Rebel Eos T5i.

Your first prime lens?

You just can't go wrong with this lens. Sharp, small and on budget.

Perfect

Absolutely love this lens! I am new to photography but the detail this lens captures is amazing!

A work in progress

Lens review

You gotta love the Nifty 50, the Fantastic Plastic.  Great little glass for the price.

The Fantastic Plastic

I haven't been doing photography for that long (around 2 years), so I went looking for a lens on a budget. My main focus is sports photography, so I was hoping to find a cheap lens that would perform good in low-light situations so that I could take decent photos in gyms and/or outside when it is darker. After 5 months of using this lens, I can say that it is 100% worth it! You cannot go wrong with buying this lens! I can take clear, bright pictures in gyms without much noise in the images. I can get cool, wide angle night shots outside during football games. I use this lens on my Canon M50 with an EF to EFM adapter. 50mm gets you close enough to the action for basketball, volleyball, hockey, and more, but it isn't as fun to use during football games where the field is larger and the action is further away. My only complaint is that this lens doesn't zoom, but the pros far outweigh this issue. If you're a beginner and/or need a budget lens, this is the lens for you! I have taken so many awesome pictures with it and it has made my photography better. :)

This lens is AWESOME!

This lens was a gift for my son and he absolutely loved it!

Glad I made this purchase! Great little lense

Love it! Great value

Whether you are starting out in photography, growing in your photography, or a pro having this lens is a must. Why? For one it?s cheap, light, sharp, and fast. No it?s 1.4 no it?s not 1.2, but it?s also just over a hundred bucks! On a crop sensor you have a portrait lens. On full frame you have a do anything lens. Wide enough for some landscapes, tight enough for street, close enough to get a new perspective on portraits. Easy yes on this one!

A Must!

OEM lens hood fits perfectly; no vignetting; dependable Canon product!

Dependable Canon Product! ??

It?s great for taking indoor pictures or portraits.

Camera Lens

This lens is one of my favorites so far! It is very dependable and works great for portraits!

Good dependable lens

The cost of this lens blows my mind. You can capture images with this lens that match a $1k or even $2k lens. It is light, small, and easy to travel with. Plus f1.8 is really all you need. I have a f1.2 and honestly never shoot at f1.2. I mostly use larger more expensive L lenses but many times will throw this lens in my bag when traveling just because of how small and light it is. People can never tell the difference between an image I took with this lens vs one of my L lenses. My complaint about it is it is hard to manual focus the lens if the AF is on. I have to make sure to turn it to MF to focus manually. Also the AF is loud and slow. But what can you expect for the price. The image quality is great.
