    If youre looking for a new lens but not ready to make a huge investment this is a great start. I understand why its referred to as the nifty fifty and I tend to shoot more with it now than any of my other lenses plus its light and less cumbersome but the quality of the colors and crispness is amazing.

    If you are curious as to if this lens is worth the upgrade from the older 50mm 1.8, the answer is YES. There is a noticeable difference in image quality and overall build. Not to mention the STM makes shooting with auto focus actually enjoyable.

    I have been wanting a lens with a low f stop. This is the perfect lens for that. It works wonderfully with my canon eos rebel T7.

    Using this lens on an old 5D Classic and the focus is spot on 95% of the time even at f1.8. the lens is adequately sharp and is leaps and bounds better than the old 50mm 1.8 II in terms of build and focusing. I even like this lens better than the 50mm 1.4 due to the focus accuracy of this lens. this is the best $125 you can spend if you are a Canon shooter and everyone should own one. Hats off to Canon for keeping the pricing where they did. this lens is easily a bargain at twice the price.

    Best bang for the buck, and the STM sound is very silent.

    Tengo algunos meses que compré este objetivo, la verdad es que es maravilloso. No pude hacer mejor compra. En cuanto al envío, llegó antes de lo acordado.

    Broke my old 50 and got this to replace it.

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.
