Canon EF 50mm 1.8 STM is one of the cheapest lens from Canon but has excellent image quality, build quality, and usability. Image quality is superb being a prime lens especially stopped down but perfectly usable even wide open at 1.8. Build quality is much improved over it's previous model (50mm 1.8 II). It has metal mount and feels solid in hand and in use. Usability is excellent especially with new quick but silent autofocus (Has STM) for photos and great for videos. Has extra shutter blades for better bokeh compared to previous models. Has 1.8 aperture which can create nice subject isolation with blurred background for portraits. 1.8 max aperture also means great light gathering ability for low light situations. It also can be used on a full frame as well as cropped sensor cameras unlike EF-S lenses which can only be used on cropped sensor cameras. 50mm on the full frame is great as it gives a normal view useful as walk around general purpose, and 80mm equivalent on cropped sensor is great because that length is great for portraits.. As you can see, you get so much from this cheapest Canon lens. I recommend this lens to all Canon DSLR owners unless you have more expensive 50mm prime lens.Read full review

I'm not sure if the lens that I received was defective, but the autofocus does not work on my lens. I have read other reviews on this lens and many stated that the autofocus works. Other than that, the lens is good for the price that you are paying. It is a little loud when it's trying to focus, but a good dupe for a Canon 50 mm. The lens itself was brand new and the packaging did not damage the product during the shipping process.

I have known about this lens for many years just never had an application where I could use it. Just purchased a 6D II and only have one FF lens a Canon 70-300mm IS II. Need something else to buy time until I can put some money aside for a wide zoom option. So with limit funds and to fill the void somewhat, I purchased this lens. This is the newest version so it has a better motor but still a bit noisy (maybe not for vlogging}, metal lens mount, smaller filter ring, front element does not rotate (CP filter) which is nice, that's about it. Not a "L" lens but it is nicely made and for the money you get alot. I would like to see Canon come out with a similar 35mm. Hoping the price of the new Tamron 17-35 mm comes down a bit in several months or Canon introduces a entry level FF wide zoom similar in specs of my zoom. Would make for a nice kit. I have Canon APS-C camera that I will use this 50mm on so it serves a dual purpose. Read full review

This lens works very nice for portrait shoots. Gives a very nice detailed subject shot with nice blurred background! the results from this lens impressed me the first time I used it on the camera, I paired it up with a canon rebel EOS T6S and on viewing the photos on the computer even at 100% all I could say was WOW! Detail and sharpness was incredible. For the money $120.00 or a little less this one is a great investment. Only negative I found is that it is a little noisy on focusing for a STM compared to some of the others but the picture quality and quickness to focus still make it a great lens to own. The image quality more than makes up for this.

The product is excellent for the price. Canon continues to make a good lens even better at the same price point. It isn't a perfect lens but it does the job. I'm giving this lens 4/5 stars only because I purchased a used lens. The lens is a little slow to focus indoors and the focus ring was rough at first. I think those issues may be because it is a used lens. I haven't used a new one so I can't say. I is sharp enough. I tend to shoot this lens at around 2.8 and it works fine. I have gotten sharp images at 1.8 and 2.0 but also many not-sharp images. The pros completely outweigh the cons with this lens. Great lens and the price is excellent. It is really difficult to get on this lens' bad side.
