Works beautifully, very sharp image and lovely blurred backgrounds.

I had to return this lens as it was noisy for video. Word on the internet, believe or discard as you wish! is that the STM zoom lenses have a rack and pinion focus system, whereas the STM primes have a geared focus system. I have two STM zooms and they are brilliant for video, but I was disappointed with the noise from this one which is geared according to posts on forums etc. I may have been unlucky. Any way in my opinion a great lens for photo, and possibly for video if you use a lav mic, but not based on my experience if you use an on camera mike.

What can I say about this lens. Its simply fantastic value for money! This is a perfect lens for anyone wanting to experiment with bokah without committing too much money. The lens has a toy like feel to it but thats not to say it wont last if it is looked after properly. Pictures are most sharp at around 2.8 but quite acceptable across the range. The auto focus isnt quite as responsive as my usm lens but is better than most.All in all Im sure you wont be disappointed with this lens for the value.

A fixed 50mm lens is a very useful lens. On a full-frame body (I’m using the full-frame Canon 6D) 50mm reproduces the view the human eye naturally has; on a 1.6 crop body such as the 7D it becomes 80mm, making it an ideal portrait lens.At a fast 1.8. the Canon “nifty fifty” (Mk II) always had a place in my camera bag. Sadly I dropped mine last week, and an internal plastic lug snapped. Time for a replacement.I settled on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM as the obvious choice. Same aperture, but some changes: it is a little shorter, has a 49mm filter ring rather than 52mm, and a metal rather than plastic mount, which should mean it is more robust. Oh, and the “Stepper Motor Technology” focusing is very quiet.I’ve been taking sample pictures, some of which are posted here. The first two macro shots are heavily cropped: the lens focuses down to 0.35 metres as opposed to the Mk II’s 0.45 metres: an appreciable difference. the others are uncropped. The thistle and foxglove pictures taken at f1.8 show the bokeh the lens can produce. The two buildings photos are taken at f8/f9.I am very happy with the lens: it is a great replacement for the Mk II 1.8. And. like its predecessor, stunning value for money. In terms of “bang for buck”, I don’t think you can do better.

The kit lens that came with my Canon 200D was pretty good, but for low light/night time urban photography I definitely needed to fix the camera to a tripod. The kit lens also lacked depth of field, though overall it allowed for great photos and video.I did a bit of research and soon stumbled upon the Canon fixed 50 f1.8. I read other reviews, watched YouTube videos and almost everyone was singing its praises. A few weeks later, after attaching it to my camera, it has become my main lens. In fact, I only use this lens. The kit lens is in the bag and hasn’t seen the light of day since I put this one on the body. It is absolutely fantastic. I can now snap night scenes handheld and the depth of field is astounding. If I were to recommend any lens to amateurs like me… I’d say this must be the first one you should buy. It has made my photography look much more professional and the image quality is very very good. I can honestly say it is the best £99 I’ve spent on photography.

I wanted a 50mm prime to use on my canon 5D to take portraits. Having read reviews for a few months this f1.8 was consistently rated the best for the money. The f1.4 (£400) and f1.2 (£1200) do give marginally better images but overall I would say this lens is more than adequate for a serious amateur. As can be seen from the photos of my grandson Charlie a head and shoulders portrait has tremendous depth. Highly recommended lens.

being more of a zoom lens guy i decided to get my hands on this lens as the price is just to good not to.being more into the zoom lenses it did take some time to adjust to the fixed focal length and using my feet as the zoom but for the image results its worth it.REMEMBER its under£100! – its light and compact – wide apreture of f1.8 – image quality is competes with the canon L series – THE PRICE!!!it has an all plastic, almost toy-like body top to front to back but as long as your not just lobbing it about theres no reason to be concernedIt is a good lens for low light photography, especially indoors. Note that the filter thread does not rotate on autofocus, so you can happily use a polarising filter.This is a great introduction to photography with a prime lens.

Bargain price for this cracking piece of equipment. Bought for daughters Canon 550D. Recommended by photographer friend and not disappointed.
