Excellent lens, especially for the price

 

This lens, in short, is my favourite lens. It's sharp in the centre from f/1.6, it's overall the sharpest lens I own. It's an excellent focal length for a general use prime. It's compact and light. It fits nicely into a jacket pocket. The bokeh it...

I bought this at the begin of the month for the F/1.2 feature to help improve my portraiture images & to help with low light situations. Well, it hasn't disappointed with my images I've recently taken. Best lens investment I've made in a while. The...

Great lens

 

Just got this a few days ago and am enjoying it, it's quite heavy, but feels well put together and very solid. Optically it produces great results. Bought it with 20% off so made it very competitive and interest free over 12 months. Delivered as stated...

If you are a starting hobby photographer with a new Canon camera, this is the cheapest way you are going to get a prime lens that is super sharp and has great low-light performance.

Great lens, especially considering the price. I've had this for months now and it takes excellent, sharp portraits with good bokeh. The thing that made me come back and write this review is it's awesome low-light performance. I took 100+ photos at a...

Obvious limitations are obvious, but this is a prime lens, so the only way to zoom in or out is with your feet. 50mm on a crop-sensor like mine can be a bit tight indoors; it is the equivalent to 80mm on a full frame. You'll have to back up from your...

Excellent Portraiture and Great Bokeh

 

This is a great lens for the price. This lens does exactly what it was intended for. An excellent addition to any photographer's lens arsenal. The low aperture (f/1.8) allows for beautiful bokeh in the background. This lens is a blackhole for light and...
