Excellent prime lens @ $150! I use it with my M100.

Great bokeh and blur. My first prime lens; using this on my very modest Rebel T6. Way better than the kit lens, but the 50mm is definitely a close up lens - better for portraits or photoshoots. I think it's too cropped for off the mill street photography or architecture. For the price though, the ability for it to go the f1.8 is remarkable. I wish the autofocus was a bit better, and the sharpness (not sure if it's the Rebel's fault though) would be more pronounced in photos. Love the lightness too - it makes a DSLR really compact but still so versatile.

This is now my main lens after getting it from Amazon. I got same day delivery through Amazon Prime. The 50mm lens is a must have lens for any serious photographer. It is lightweight and produces sharp pictures. The auto focus is rather fast compared to the kit lenses that I got with my camera.

I have had this lens just a short time, but I do like it. It is very sharp and the color is good. I like the lens better at 11, than 22, so if youre deciding between this and the the 22mm prime you would have to take that into consideration. In other words for a wide angle, I would squeak this just above the Rokinon 12mm. And it is nice to have some zoom to say 14 or 15. But to compare the 22mm of this lens to the 22mm prime, I would go with the prime, which I own. And of course the 22m prime is faster and better for soft backgrounds. All that being said, it is definitely a great lens for the M series, and it may turn out to be one of the lens I use the most. I do find the lens collapse switch annoying, but I can live with that.

Prime lenses are nearly always better than their zoom counterparts at equivalent focal lengths.I previously owned the last generation of this lens, and found that I was using it more than my kit lens. It was sharper, faster, and gave me better results, and losing some focal range was an acceptable sacrifice.This new version is much easier to focus as they're moved the focus ring behind the front element. Unfortunately, the focus is motor driven and the camera must be on and engaged to focus the lens.My images have been sharp, with great contrast and good bokeh.I was considering the 50mm f/1.4, but all research I was able to find showed that there wasn't much advantage aside from the additional available light. Plus you could buy a few of these for the same cost...If you only have your kit lens, and you never shot with any old manual SLRs (where fast 50mm lenses were king), you owe it to yourself to pick one of these up. They're a lot of fun, and the image quality will shock you when you remind yourself you only spent $120 on the lens

I would recommend this lens to people who just starting photographyIt's not as expensive as some of the other prime lens for EF-M mount

My first prime lens and I love it : )I use it more than the stock lens but now I want to buy so many more expensive ones lol

I never had used prime lens before and after going through the reviews and watching some YouTube videos on how great this lens is, that too at low price range, I immediately decided to buy it. Worth spending money on this. Now mostly I use it all the time unless required to change it to zoom lens or kit lens.
