  1. Sarj

    Despite not having Image Stabilization, the photos do come out very crisp with the ISO increased to 800-1250. The details this gorgeous lens produces is just awesome. I highly recommend this lens priced at $169.00. However, I wish it had come with a lens hood. All in all, this Canon RF 50mm F1.8 is a worthy addition to your photography arsenal.

  2. user517051

    This lens is fantastic and rarely ever leaves my camera

  3. SashaP

    Bought this before expanding into my 35 and 85mm lenses. Sharp images

  4. AmeerK

    Results were sharper and much better bokeh as compared to the kit lens included with my Canon R50. There is a considerable crop when using on an APSC sensor, and this does make it hard to use indoors. Great place to start due to the affordable price.

  5. Wally

    As I said in the title, this lender offers great value. The f1.8 minimum aperture offers beautiful blurry backgrounds and versatility for brighter images, while the tiny compact size of this lens makes it a great choice for beginners and experienced photographers alike.

  6. Vernon

    I purchased this lens to pair with my R5, when I don’t want or need to drag along my bigger RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L Lens. It does a great job and the size is perfect.

  7. CraigN

    Can’t really rate do to sales person sold it to son and doesn’t work on his camera

  8. BallerDave

    Impressive little lense! Great for a beginner like myself.

  9. Robert

    The Canon RF 50mm lens is a must-have for any photography enthusiast! The image quality is absolutely stunning, with sharpness and clarity that bring your photos to life. The wide aperture allows for beautiful background blur and excellent low-light performance. It’s a versatile lens that’s perfect for portraits, street photography, and so much more. I highly recommend it!

  10. Cinimod

    This is a fantastic lens, especially for the price! I use it to take portraits of my kids and get loads of compliments on the pictures – even from people who actually know what they’re doing (unlike me). I love it!

  11. Lija

  27. Hannah

    A very powerful lens, very professional go to lens. Absolutely amazing quality. Totally the best budget friendly lens. I find myself using this one more then my $1000 lens

  28. RaeEliz38

    Thus is a wonderful lense! It is perfect for my needs.

  29. JohnathanH

    A beautiful nifty 50 lens.
    Very versatile and easy to use especially if first starting out.

  30. BrianE

    Crisp pictures, still learning but for the money it’s a great addition.

  31. AhmedB

    I love it. Just like its predecessor, this lens is lightweight, sharp and very portable

  32. TCPNW

    Love the nifty fifty, has been great for portrait shots of my new baby and focuses fairly quick with my R5. Definitely high quality product.

  33. user752983

    Love! Great lens. Used for Christmas morning so far and it did a grand job

  34. Junior

    Great for beginners and a great main lens to use. The quality makes your camera so much better.

  35. KaelynW

    Perfect lens for anything! I use it for pet portraits, couples, weddings, family photos. Great starter lens for sure!

  36. JulesM

    This new RF 50mm F1.8 is, in my opinion, a real success, and a remarkable evolution of the EF 50 mm 1.8 STM. Exceptional sharpness is present as soon as you down-stop 1f aperture, and presents remarkable quality for portrait photography when mounted on APS-C (canon R7, 80mm equivalent).
    At this price, it’s a real bargain.

  37. atorres

    this lens proves that uou dont need expensive equipment to make your pictures look good

  38. CodyM

    I use this lens a lot for walk around/street photography. Having a 50mm in your kit is a great addition. I don’t use it all the time as I mostly shoot landscapes and wildlife, I love having it in my arsenal.

  39. RaymondB

    your lens are not interchangeable. I bought a Canon from you and wanted to upgrade with a wide angle lens. The camera and lens are not compatible

  40. BarringtonC

    Love my lens! Im a photographer and this lens came in clutch! I will Be purchasing my other lens from Best Buy

  41. ElissaH

  42. Benny

  43. MuhammadH

    Amazing lens for the price. Bokeh quality is great for the tiny mini nifty fifty

  44. RyanK

    Great product and I bought this lense thinking it would be a great first lense for all around pics boy was I wrong great lense for taking pictures with some short distance between you and object being photographed but not what I expected I should of bout the 35 I think lol first camera

  45. Lenin

    Nifty fifty. Snappy and very sharp.
    There is a bit of noise when focusing but nothing that distracts too much

  46. HappyDog

    Small, super light. I use this if I’m traveling with a larger zoom lens like a 200-500 mm lens to allow for close shots but I want to keep my pack light.

    Its compact enough that its hardly noticeable in my camera bag.

  47. Will

    Excellent lens for rf cameras, the quality of the images for the price is worth every penny, it’s very light and compact you wouldn’t notice it in your camera bag.

  48. Ismeralda

    This lens is sharp and Thank you Best Buy for the quick delivery

  49. RabindraN

    This is so perfect leans for portrait photography
    Close up shots I am glad I got this leans

  50. LilMutombo

    Great price for the first lens you should buy after getting the camera. Takes amazing portraits and can handle lower light situations pretty well. Compact and lightweight, it makes a camera like the R50 feel ultra portable and sporty.
