It's not a bad lens, especially considering that it costs just about a C-Note. It looks good and delivers some solid shots. However handle this thing like it was an egg. The first one I had, the front just popped off in my camera bag. The second?- cheap
- Lightweight
- Cheap plastic
- Flimsy
- Weak Casing
It's a great lens - especially for the cropped sen
Unfortunately, these are made from fairly fragile plastic - with some pretty tiny plastic clips holding it together. Break one of the clips, and the lens is done for. But if you handle it very carefully, which you really should do with all lenses, it is a very valuable tool.
Not up to the mark
EF 50 mm f/1.8 II is not up to the mark. Auto focus is not accurate and took more time during low light shoot. I you love to record video then this lens is not for you as during every video recording you will get a background sound which will disturb the actual voice of people .
Good lens from Canon available at a great price from Souq . Original product and improves image quality for close up shots and family photos. Recommended buy if you don't have this lens and you wish to have sharp images with background blur capability.
- Original product
- Great performance for close up shots and sharp clarity of image
- Should give some carry pouch for protection
- But thats not a show stopper as lens cover is available
I seriously doubt it's a Canon genuine product. Cos ...
I seriously doubt it's a Canon genuine product. Cos, it doesn't have a Image stabilization. It's not Gud to buy. Pls go to Canon showroom and buy.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
A great lens to start with. Sharpness and colors are excellent. My lens is sharp at the center even at 1.8 if you can nail the focus, although it does have some dreamy effect. With an APS-C -if you have a full frame you will probably be able to afford the 1.4- the equivalent focal lenght is around...- Sharp
- cheap
- lightweight
- Plasticky
- sometimes misses focusing at 1.8
- rounded shaped bokeh highlights only at 1.8
Cheap as chips this is my simply awesome plastic fantastic, use your body as the zoom walk forwards or backwards to frame subject or object, sharp focus and blur out the background easy and cheap as, a must have for beginners like myself.
Simple first prime lens
This was the first lens I bought (aside from the kit lens), because I was reading reviews on prime lenses and how the 'nifty fifty' was essential for every Canon photographer. This lens is really compact, but not very well built.- Super-sharp images
This is my go-to portrait lens for indoors and outdoors. It's never let me down, it's fast enough to get REALLY creamy Bokeh and quick auto focus. If you're looking for a great prime lens to get started with something better than your kit lens, this is your lens!
- Fast Glass
- Inexpensive
- great Depth of field
- quick AF
- It feels a bit cheaply built, it's plastic housing doesn't scream quality
- Also the lens hood, (ES-62), isn't included, so that's an additional $8-$15
