Review: An indispensable addition to your camera arsenal - This is a classic purchase for those wanting to take a small step further in to their photography and to broaden their lens options beyond a standard kit lens (often supplied with your dSLR camera). If you want to purchase a second or third lens (even if just keeping it to a trinity of 3 lenses, a tele and a versatile zoom lens in the middle range), then this could be the right one. This 'nifty fifty' is cheap and offers loads of value for money, especially in terms of sharp focus and bukeh (the blurred look you get with professional lenses). Given its focal range (50mm) which offers you close to normal eye vision (assuming you have a uncropped sensor), you could use the lens for portraits, close ups and details and street photography. The consensus is that this is one of the best editions of this classic, old time lens, and better value for money than the equivalent f1.4 or even f1.2 that cost a disproportionate amount more. Unless you need quite a wide angle or a long reach, you can't go wrong with this lens and it's a well worth addition to your camera bag.
Review: Great replacement for the classic "nifty 50"! - A fixed 50mm lens is a very useful lens. On a full-frame body (I'm using the full-frame Canon 6D) 50mm reproduces the view the human eye naturally has; on a 1.6 crop body such as the 7D it becomes 80mm, making it an ideal portrait lens. At a fast 1.8. the Canon "nifty fifty" (Mk II) always had a place in my camera bag. Sadly I dropped mine last week, and an internal plastic lug snapped. Time for a replacement. I settled on the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM as the obvious choice. Same aperture, but some changes: it is a little shorter, has a 49mm filter ring rather than 52mm, and a metal rather than plastic mount, which should mean it is more robust. Oh, and the "Stepper Motor Technology" focusing is very quiet. I've been taking sample pictures, some of which are posted here. The first two macro shots are heavily cropped: the lens focuses down to 0.35 metres as opposed to the Mk II's 0.45 metres: an appreciable difference. the others are uncropped. The thistle and foxglove pictures taken at f1.8 show the bokeh the lens can produce. The two buildings photos are taken at f8/f9. I am very happy with the lens: it is a great replacement for the Mk II 1.8. And. like its predecessor, stunning value for money. In terms of "bang for buck", I don't think you can do better.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this lens fit in an eos m6?**
A: Yes if you have the Canon EF-EOS M Mount Adapter

**Q: Will this fit the 1300d?**
A: Absolutely, I have a 1300d and I get some
 Great shots with it

**Q: I have a canon m50 would i need an adapter for the body when i purchased this lens??**
A: Looks like there is an adapter for this lens. I have eos 6d and it fits. Best check is the canon webpage where they have a "which lens fits which camera"  I used that as my concern was not all lenses suit a full frame, this lens does both.

**Q: Has anyone used this lens for macro photography with insects etc?**
A: I think the minimum focus distance of roughly 45cm is a bit far for insects. Canon do a nice 60mm macro which also works quite well as a portrait lens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a force to be reckoned with - The incredible nifty fifty
*by V***D on 4 December 2019*

being more of a zoom lens guy i decided to get my hands on this lens as the price is just to good not to. being more into the zoom lenses it did take some time to adjust to the fixed focal length and using my feet as the zoom but for the image results its worth it. REMEMBER its under£100! - its light and compact - wide apreture of f1.8 - image quality is competes with the canon L series - THE PRICE!!! it has an all plastic, almost toy-like body top to front to back but as long as your not just lobbing it about theres no reason to be concerned It is a good lens for low light photography, especially indoors. Note that the filter thread does not rotate on autofocus, so you can happily use a polarising filter. This is a great introduction to photography with a prime lens.
