A Game Changer for Portrait Photography
Shooting portraits with a 50mm lens is an absolutely amazing experience. It's on a completely different level from my high-end mobile phone. The quality, the depth of field, and the way it renders subjects is just beautiful.
However, it's important to remember that this is pure photography – there's no AI to automatically touch up your photos like on a phone. This means that learning the fundamentals, especially composition, is crucial. But that's the rewarding part! It pushes you to become a better photographer. If you're ready to move beyond point-and-shoot and truly learn the craft of creating beautiful portraits, this lens is a fantastic choice.

Small, sharp, affordable, versatile
I bought this lens with my R6 mk2 as an alternative to my RF24-105 (which is also great, just big) for when I want a smaller lens and a wider aperture. It’s more than sharp enough for my usage and in some scenarios renders bokeh in a characterful almost vintage way wide open. When stopped down the lens becomes as sharp as some L lenses I’ve used which is especially remarkable at the price point. In some scenarios the lens almost has some “3D Pop” as some people say. The size and weight is also very convenient, when I’m doing street photography, the small size makes the lens not intimidating to the general public so they don’t feel intimidated by it which is a common thing with large lenses. Overall, very nice lens in general and especially for the price. Would recommend to anyone in the RF system.

Great image quality on a budget
This is a great lens, particularly for beginners. Given its 1.8 aperture it's easy to experiment and get those blurry backgrounds without beaking the bank.
The image quality is great, and it is easy to carry everywhere because it's small size.

Began my journey with this prime and couldn't think of anything better. The depth of field and length pushed you to get creative as you learn your camera. The value is superb at this price point as well. A must have in the kit.

Simple but great!
Bought while borrowing my friend's camera for a month.
It was an excellent lens for the price I paid and definitely holds it's own against higher cost lenses in my professional work.

great value lens
With only a 18-200mm lens for my EOS40D, I was looking for a simple fixed lens for general photography. The Canon RF 50mm does the job perfectly, at very good value.
