A go to for portraits. The 1.8 is fantastic for astrophotography such as tight star clusters or the Orion Nebula. Not so great for milky way shots due to narrow field of view. The 50mm becomes around 80mm on crop sensor cameras. I'm happy with it for the price.

This is lens is super sharp. I have it on a crop sensor camera and it works great. I love the 1.8, it works really well in low light. Highly recommend this lens as a nice addition to only having a 18-55 kit lens.

Super sharp Great in low light Price

A must have standard for all kits. Cheap to buy, the best photos produced. Good blur and great in low light.

Canon's EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM lens is the first of its type with built-in LED lights on each side of the lens to provide full control over subject illumination. These Macro Lites can be adjusted individually to give images a sense of dimension.

The photographs produced by this prime lens are extremely high in quality; and suggest any enthusiast to invest in a lens like this- you will not be disappointed

For the price of this lens and the high quality photographs it produces; I don't think anyone is entitled to say a bad thing about it

Great price-value relation. Really good lens! Compact, light but sturdy. In my opinion better than his 50mm f/1.4 twin. Quicker to focus and more silent.

Excellent Sharpness . Brokeh Are Damn Good . Best Lens Ever in This Budget . Good built quality . After the Kit Lens I Seriously Recommend You this .

Nice lens. Lightweight

Compact and lightweight-an outstanding walk-around lens-Canon's EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a great entry into the world of EOS prime lenses. With an 80mm effective focal-length on APS-C cameras, 50mm on full-frame cameras, it's an excellent prime lens for portraits, action, even nighttime photography.

the perfect macro lens. the LED's work just great. it's so easy to get good macro shots of coins, stamps etc. auto focus, image stabilization, 35mm (56mm 35mm equivalent) and ability to get to 1:1! Saw one review that implied the LED's weren't strong enough - I disagree, they're fine.
