A small, inexpensive prime which works well
The Canon 'Nifty Fifty" has been around for a while. You can't beat prime lenses as value for money and this one is no exception.
At f/1.8 it is significantly brighter than Canon's kit zooms. It is compact and lightweight with good sharpness. 50mm focal length lends itself to many uses, from landscapes (provided you don't want to go very wide) to group shots and portraits. Closest focus distance is about 1 foot. There is no image stabilisation but I haven't missed it.
Another nice thing is that it has been around for a long time, so even going back to Photoshop CC2014, correction data is included. This lense is a good match to any Canon DSLR, full frame or APS-CRead full review

THE WORLDS HIGHEST SELLING LENS FOR A REASON
A must-have lens for beginners and intermediate alike.
You won't find a more usable and practical lens for the money.
A great focal length for portraits on Crop-Sensor cameras, and a handy general purpose lens for *all* cameras.
The f/1.8 aperture gives you good bokeh and the fixed (non zoom) focal lengths forces beginners to move their feet to compose a shot. Perfect!Read full review

Hard to beat with sharp pictures and super quiet focus 50mm f1.8 lens.
For the price, this 50mm f1.8 lens is hard to beat. It can give really sharp images and provides nice bokeh when the aperture is kept low. It has STM focusing and is very quiet, so perfect for video. It's just a great lens, and truly earns it's still kept nickname, the 'Nifty-fifty!'.Read full review

Great shots in very low light.
I haven’t tested this to its full capacity yet but I’m happy with low light shots in the house. Still retains sharpness but some softness when used with my viltrox speedbooster so I’ll need another adaptor. Not that noticeable but I’m fussy.Read full review

Best canon lens I have ever owned!
I own three Canon lenses and I use this nifty fifty most of the time. It is light, the image is super sharp, the focus is silent and relatively fast, the build is solid, and most importantly it is the least expensive Canon lens! Every Canon owner needs to own one I believe.Read full review

Great lens!!!
This EF 50mm F1.8 III STM Lens can produce the quite sharp, bright images as long as the user sets up the aperture, the shutter speed, and ISO number properly in the camera. I bought this lens for more than a week, I'm quite happy with it. It's value for money.Read full review

The Great Nifty-Fifty
I bought this lens for better available light photography, without breaking the bank. It fits the bill nicely, easy to use and the items in focus are very sharp.

Nifty Fifty!
I bought this as a replacement for my old prime lens. Quick to focus and quiet, with sharp image quality. If I were to have only one lens for photowalk, this is the one I will definitely bring.
