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

First off, I would note that all of the negative reviews of this monocular reflect the writer's lack of knowledge of what optical specifications mean and/or the inability to use and adjust a scope for the optimum clarity. This product is exactly as described for size, weight and power. The 40mm objective lens provides for a very good image in low light. The adjustable eyepiece is convenient for eye glass wearers. I was very impressed with the quality of the scope and optics at this price level. The body has a rubberized texture and knurled surfaces on the adjustment points. It feels solid and should hold up to minor abuse. although it is a little heavy, it is about the weight you would expect for it's size. I was able to zero in and get a sharp image with little fuss. Although one can view at 30x magnification with a minimal amount of shakiness, the ability to attach a tripod is helpful for extended viewing. The monocular is easy to slip in a pocket or carry with the included lanyard. It comes with a case that has a belt loop attachment. It has lens covers although they do not have a tether attachment meaning they can be easily lost or misplaced. You can do much better for a monocular if you're willing to spend more money. At $30 for this one though, you can't go wrong. You are getting a 40mm objective lens, BAK4 prism, fully coated lenses and lots of other useful features making it an ideal scope for all kinds of activities.

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.

I really love this camera, and at the 2-2.5k USD price point I think it is the best out there. I usually jump between Nikon and Sony, so this felt like an awesome blend of the two (with the autofocus being the only quality that's worse than both of the others). Overall, for narrative filmmaking, travel filmmaking, vlogging that doesn't challenge the autofocus with fast-changing lighting or subjects, general photography (except for maybe sports unless you're okay with 6K Photo burst) this is an amazing all-rounder. The kit lens is also super versatile. The 20mm is awesome for vlogging, architecture, and some landscape work, while 60mm is decent enough for some light portraiture and compression. I paired this with the newer 85mm 1.8 to satisfy some low-light, bokeh and telephoto gaps that the kit lens leaves. I think an S5 + 20-60mm, 85mm 1.8 (and/or 35/50mm 1.8), and 70-300mm would be a perfect combo for most hybrid shooters that don't require faster zooms for sports/weddings/other high-pressure and non-repeatable moments.This issue: I thought I purchased a new camera, but the package doesn't come with sealing so there's no way to really tell, but I found that my 20-60mm Lens came with the wrong model lens cap and the rear lens cap has some subtle scratches on it. It seems like the optics are pristine and the camera looked and worked equally fantastic, but when you pay for a new product (even if it was on sale at the time) you expect to have an unused product. I'm fine with dinged up, scratched and beat gear, but I'd much prefer to be the one to run it through the mud and to at least not pay a "new" price for someone else's mistakes.Still a wonderful camera and I will either re-order or wait for a successor, because this is really something special.

This lens is amazing. It's one of the L-series canon lens, and the feel of L lenses are completely different to the non-L ones. 17-40mm covers most of the general need, for example gathering of people, party, celebrations, portrait and close ups. f/4 is again enough unless you want to reduce the depth-of-view, which generally would be a nice feature to have, but the price difference between the 17-40mm f/4 vs 16-35mm f/2.8 makes the former a better worth for money. The main reason I like the L-lenses, apart from the solid build, is the fact that the lens system does not protrude out of the lens body during zoom, unlike the EF-S and EF (non L) lenses. This not only makes it more durable, but also helps when you have a polarizer attached to the lens, and you don't have to constantly adjust the polarizer as you change the zoom.

This lens cap fits the Canon EF Lens 50mm 1:1.8 STM perfectly. I recommend it!
