Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Review

The Canon 50mm f/1.8 II has fantastically good optics, better than Canon's "L" series wide lenses like the 16-35mm f/2.8 L II .

Great lens at a great price

All I can say is this lens is a steal in this price bracket. Gives very sharp pictures with my Canon 550D. Perfect for low light photography where you do not need to zoom close to your subject. Focussing is accurate and fast. Great lens at a great price.

Consistent Output; Easily Interchangeable; Fast / accurate auto-focus; Lightweight; Nice Bokeh

Weak Casing

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

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.

Canon 50mm 1.8II

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

Rate it all!

Canon EF 50mm f1.8 MK2 lens

The Canon EF 50mm is a compact standard lens . It has fixed focal length, high light sensitivity and is very small and light. Weighing in at 130 grams you don't really notice it at a normal SLR.
