I just bought this lens to replace an old 50mm 1.8 motor lens, expecting the STM focusing to be fast and quiet (as my other STM lenses are). This lens however is very noisy focusing, making a 'dud-dud-dud' noise which is really noticable, its fine for stills and the images look great, but for video...

I've been wanting a 50mm lens and was trying to hold out for the more expensive versions. However I needed one quickly and Target had this in stock at many stores near me, so I went ahead and purchased it. It did a really great job, very happy with it! Perfect lens at perfect price point.

Ah, the "nifty fifty"! This is without question the best-selling lens from Canon, maybe even of all lenses. Its high price to performance ratio is the reason for this. It can be useful on both crop and full frame, and should probably be every beginners first upgrade lens, which I will discuss more...

This 50mm lens produces some quality photos. While not as fast as the f/1.4 it is less than half he price. And the f/1.2L is 10 times the cost. It seems at times it has to hunt for focus a bit (but that could just be a contrast thing with my subject and background too) When everything is right focus...

It's a small lens that goes large in value for money and still manages to deliver some great quality...

Extremely light; Fantastic quality for the price; Much-improved handling

Just received my EFS 35mm Macro Lens I am so impressed. I currently use a 5:1 lens which I love however it's heavy. This is a breeze the built in light is the bomb. Thank you Canon I'll be using this when I go to Tassie in Sept. you've just made that trip even more exciting two thumbs up!

Delivered on time with good packaging. I'm super happy with the lens. Must have lens for portrait photography.

I've had this lens for a few days now. It does exactly what I need it to do! It's an essential part of my kit. If you want amazing portrait shots with beautiful blurred background this is all you need. I take mainly dog portraits and as you can see, they're stunning!

Haven't really used it enough yet to comment on the portrait aspect, but with the little testing I have done, it seems to work as I expected. Amazing Prime delivery. I purchased it at about 10pm on Friday evening and it was delivered Saturday lunchtime. Great service.

This may sound stingy, but this is the cheapest lens you can buy for a Canon DLSR. So it makes it an affordable gift for any photographer. I bought this lens nearly 6 months ago because my partner kept stealing my 50mm prime for her professional product photography.
