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.

Great webcam. Excellent looks. The thing that holds ito on the Laptop/Monitor seems to be too large for no reason. I would've made it smaller from a better material, for the price that it is being sold they should've "gone the extra mile".Carl Zeiss optics are supposedly what makes a difference.However the lens is the same size as all the regular webcams.I would've thought that Zeiss optics would use a larger and brighted high index lenses that they are known for, to allow more light to get in and improve image quality as additional benefit.Not so. Well the lens does seem to let more light through then the plastics.but most of the improvements seems to come from post processing of the captured image(this is a speculation at this point, I have not done any professional testing to verify my inference).

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

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.

you get what you paid for. It's not a product like B&W.Wonderful for sony zeiss 55 1.8. I touched the glassed in the lens and made some scratch and then decide to get this one. This filter can really protect the lens from unintentional touch.

Isn't the Carl Zeiss optics lens as advertised but it;s a much clearer picture now so... I got that going for me, which is nice.
