I liked the f stop of 1.8 and overall performance. However, this lens is not to be used for a lot of other things other than portraits. Like, getting full body shots. It'll take the picture, but you have to move far away and by then the lens is useless in the perspective your trying to capture. It also, has manual or auto focus selection but the manual selection does not work. At least for mine it didn't. The camera im using is the Canon Rebel T7 dslr that uses ef-s functions, and the lens is ef. I think the s stands for the image stability feature in witch this lens does not have. still a wonderfull portrait lens, but that basically all its good for. I've found myself trying to use my 18-55 more often now.

I enjoy this Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens for portraits on a Crop, APS-C x1.6, Sensor. It's equivlent to a 80mm f/2.9 on a Canon Crop, APS-C x1.6, Sensor.

Hey, I'm PercyI'm a YouTuber (Gogglez Enraged) that does reviews, tips, recommendations, and top gears to get.Build quality of the 50 f/1.8 is very cheap (as you might expect). This lens feels more like a toy than a piece of optics. It utilizes plastic construction right down to the lens mount (the lenses are glass of course). This light material combined with the small size (2.7" x 1.6"/68.2mm x 41.0mm - WxL) puts this lens in the featherweight class - 4.6 oz (130g). The 50 f/1.8 is currently Canon's lightest. It was also Canon's shortest EOS-mount lens until the Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Lens was introduced. The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens delivers very sharp images as inexpensively as Canon lenses get.The 50 f/1./8 bears a plastic lens mount. Considering how light the 50 f/1.8 II lens is, the plastic lens mount seems adequate from a strength perspective. You might get more wear than you wish if you are changing the lens frequently.Autofocus is driven by a micro motor. Focus speed is not stellar, but fine in good light with subjects that are not moving too quickly. The 50 f/1.8 II is one of Canon's louder/buzzier lenses - you know when it is focusing. But this is not a wildlife lens - and the noise probably won't bother most people. I suppose a positive aspect of the sound is that you know when it is working - and when it is finished working - when focus is locked. FTM (Full Time Manual) focusing is not included. The 50 f/1.8 extends up to 5/16" during focusing - the very small 52mm filter does not rotate.All in all, I truly enjoy using this lens for my B-roll for my Youtube channel and the webpage. As well as having those awesome blur shot background. i highly recommend purchase this lens cause its inexpensive and a good lens to have around because of its size and the picture quality.

If your looking for a 50mm f/1.8 lens for a canon camera this is the one! 10/10 would buy again

Good sensor light but it has some flaws.1) you can't actually aim solar panel where you want/need it to be. It's a fixed motion with extremely limited angle based on how you point the main big light.2) battery is kinda small. 1 or 2 days without light/with low light and it just can't function.That being said, with adequate sunlight and view of sky this light is fantastic. Works great.

This lens hood is an exact fit for my EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Canon Lens. I made the desicion to go with the original Canon piece as opposed to a cheaper knock off due to the fact that I have original Canon Lens Hoods for different lenses. I always prefer the better build of the original. This lens hood is very solid, durable, and has a great matte black finish. The hood also has a great locking feature too so when you put it on it clicks and locks into place. There is a button on the outside of the lens hood that you press to release the hood (see photo). This lens hood does a great job at resisting flare in my at home studio as well as when doing walk-around photography. It can be reversed or put on backwards as to surround the lens which is great for transport so that it doesn't take up space. If you're not sure if this will fit your lens, go to Canons website and check compatability. If you have the 50mm f/1.8 STM Canon Lens, then I highly recommend you purchase this piece. If my review has helped you, please let me know! Thanks and happy shooting!

I used to own the original "nifty fifty"...this is one is soo much better I cannot say enough. I shot engagement photographs for a couple recently and used only this lens and the canon 85 1.8 for the whole shoot. This new nifty fifty is SHARP, no need to fiddle with micro adjustments on my 6D. It has better contrast than the old nifty fifty and the construction feels so much better than the cheap plastic feel of the old 50 1.8. Do yourself a favor and stop reading this and buy the lens, you won't regret it.

Have had my previous ones for.10 years so was afraid to.purchase. these are better than the first
