    Very happy with this lens. There is the 1.4 model, but at twice the price or more, this one gives the effect I was looking for, and I wonder if the higher-end one would bring too much of the blur effect.

    I received this as a gift and it was one of the best gifts I have ever received. This really upd my photography game by a lot. Most of the time, I would use this lens instead of the camera kit lens unless I absolutely had to. I have a canon t3i rebel, so I ended up having to go pretty far just to get a shot of the background and the subjects upper body. It was sometimes annoying because I would have to go really far, but some people might like that. It think I have gotten some great images for the price, So i highly recommend this one if youre looking to do some portrait photography on a budget. I even got some paid photography jobs with this. This lens isnt the best for group shots. It gets harder to focus on peoples faces with it, so that is why I have decided to upgrade. Also, it can be really slow. I have done a few events and itll sometimes freeze on me for a few seconds or be slow to focus and has me miss important moments. I wouldnt recommend it for special paid events as I have missed some great shots. Also, the colors dont look as great indoor. I think the colors look best outdoors in natural light.

    My photographer friend recommended this lens. I recommend only buying if you are trying to learn more than what the standard DLS and zoom lenses can give you. This is good for portraits and fast action and is a versatile lens (coming from a pro photographer that Ive been working with) but it does take practice to use properly.

    Great Product! The new metal mounting system gives the lens a great overall build quality. The STM focusing is great, quiet, and fast, and the f/1.8 produces amazing blurred backgrounds. Great lens for portraits or detail photos.

    Me parece un muy buen objetivo calidad-precio, muy útil para ir dando los primero pasos en fotografía.

The wide f/1.8 aperture lets in more than 8x the amount of light compared to the standard zoom lens that is provided with your EOS. This results in sharper images with less motion blur and reduced need to use flash in dimly lit conditions so you can easily capture the atmosphere of a low light environment. The 50mm focal length allows you to fill the frame with your subject from a comfortable distance making it a great lens for portraits. A similar perspective to the human eye and its compact size make the EF 50mm f/1.8 STM a great everyday lens to always carry with your EOS camera. The near-silent STM (Stepping Motor) technology focuses extremely quickly when shooting photos, so you can react suddenly to capture fleeting moments. Creating high quality movies is easier with STM as it delivers steady and quiet continuous focusing, so your movies are smooth, and soundtracks only capture the surrounding sounds and not the noise of a focusing motor. The EF 50mm f/1.8 STM replaces the popular EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens which was affectionately known for giving outstanding picture quality at an affordable price. This latest version gives the same stunning photo quality but with a fast, near-silent focus motor and a more robust build that belies its price.

Performance is brilliant, with a stepping motor (gear-type STM) to deliver near silent, continuous Movie Servo AF for movies plus speedy, smooth AF for stills.
