Outstanding value

Delivers outstanding performance at an incredibly affordable price point. Its wide maximum aperture of f/1.8 allows for excellent low-light shooting and creates beautiful background separation with smooth, creamy bokeh. The lens is remarkably sharp, making it ideal for portraits, street photography, and everyday shooting. Definitely a must have

Affordable, fast, fun!

Everybody knows about the nifty fifty! It's a wonderfully small prime lens that has a fast aperture for a cheap price. The STM variant does seems quite a bit better from the previous version. I have used this lens on my Canon T3, T5i, and now my R8. It works perfectly for portraits or if you need more light in darker situations. It is softer at f/1.8, but sharpens up around f/2.8, which is still perfectly usable. It's a little tight on crop though, but I felt it was was easier to use on full frame for more everyday situations. I'm mostly planning on switching to the RF 35mm, but the 50mm is still an invaluable tool to have in most photographer's and even videographer's bag.
