[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a great little lens. I've been using with my Canon T1i and the overall image quality, colors, and sharpness is miles better than the lenses that came with my camera. The fixed 50mm focal length is great for getting you to move around and work your shots until you find that perfect angle rather than relying on zooming in or out. The 1.8f aperture is great for evening/low light shots and you can get some awesome boka and blur effects with it as well. The Autofocus works fine, but for some reason I can't seem to focus at all on manual. Thats probably just me but I was pretty good at using manual on my other lenses, might just have to practice more with this one. Its also great for taking portraits of people, but can be tricky taking photos of two or more, and especially groups. You usually have to run pretty far back to get everyone in frame. If you are a beginner photographer or are just looking to improve you photographing chops and have been looking at getting a new lens, this little guy has you covered.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I picked up this lens to just start shooting with my camera I just bought, and I'm blown away by the quality it gives off and if you can find like the right balance between focal point and aperture then you will get some pretty stellar pictures out of it

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This budget lense is amazing. With the 1.8 aperture you cant beat the price on this baby. Takes great photos its also sharp as well. I use this one alot more than my other lenses. Its not that fast though But still good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a beginner (just got my camera a few days ago), this lens is fool proof!! Sharp, bright photos every time. I cannot believe the quality of this lens for an affordable amount.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was great best investment yet that I made the picture was very clear and delivered what I wanted

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just getting into photography and this lens is way better than the ones that came in rhe starter kit. Came out clean without messing with the settings so will come out even better after

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] many of the reviews do not do this lense justice, it is an absolutely phenomenal lense for the price, and has helped me be shown in photography.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Best upgrade I ever made. Game changer to my work. Gave me more room to explore

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to buy the 50mm 1.8 vs the 50mm 1.4 based on the various reviews I read online. The one glaring review or comment that convince me to buy this lens is images taken with the 1.8 are no less sharper than images taken with the more expensive 1.4. The focus motor is a very audible, but does not affect my photography which is mostly portrait. I do not shoot videos with my Canon DSLR. Granted that this lens may not be the best prime 50mm, but it works for me. It is lightweight which I need since I have osteoarthritis in my right hand. I shoot with a Canon 85mm 1.8 and use the 50mm for shots where I need to move in closer for some shots I want.
