This is an upgrade to the old 'Nifty 50' or 'Plastic Fantastic' 50mm prime lens, an old time classic because of the great quality photos it could take for the very low price. This upgraded STM model improves on the original in various ways, including: - Much more quiet motor thanks to the STM (Canon...

If this is your first upgrade you will gonna fall in love with this. Pros- 1.Smooth and fast auto focus. 2.Better build quality from the previous 50 mm. Cons- Noise reduced to much extend still Whirling sound in both auto and manual focus is clearly audible.

This is a must have lens to have in your gear bag. It's a great lens to throw on your body (either crop or not) and get right out there and do some incredible portrait and street photography. You will not be disappointed.

Excellent portrait lens for both Full Frame and Crop Sensor bodies; Equates to approx; 85mm focal length on Canon 1.6 crop sensor cameras; New STM (Stepping motor) for silent and fast (although not blazing fast) focusing Very sharp lens; Do not let the price fool you.

Not really a con, but Smaller filter size (smaller than the standard f1.8 50mm Canon without STM; I recommend bying a step up or step down ring for filters anyways to keep your filter arsenal ready for most any lens in your gear bag.

A review huh? Well... I will say, I love this lens. It takes very sharp pictures, focuses fast and has amazing low light capabilities. It really is amazing seeing the difference between this and the kit lenses. For a price of about $100 you can't go wrong with this one.

I bought this to complement my F4 L zooms for better portability & wider apertures on various full-frame & crop frame EOS bodies. First impressions are very positive. It is well made for the money and handles well.

Consistent Output; Durable; Easily Interchangeable; Lightweight; Quick Focus; Sharp Focus

I love taking pictures but its only a hobby. I don't think I would be as good if I didn't have my Canon Rebel T3i. My original plan was to return the lens because I didn't think it worked at first. Then I down loaded the pictures onto my computer. I was blown away at what I saw.

Love it. Makes all of my photos look super professional. Great for food photography!

It's a great little lens for stills and video. In a shoot out at 2.0 with a 50L, this lens is just a tad softer (hard to see in some scenes) but has dramatically less CA. The bokeh's very busy, but you can't have everything for this price.

Pleasing image quality from 2.0 on up; ok auto focus

Bokeh is a busy; but to be expected at this price

The Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM is as close to a no-brainer as you can get in the EF lens catalogue. It represents one of the most affordable entries to the joys of fixed-focal length ‘prime' lens photography, delivering better quality, superior low-light performance and much greater potential for...
