As most reviews say, it's a fantastic lens. Great for portraits I find. Not the best for low light but what's good for low light For the price there's not much to say that's negative. Just get it and shoot! You will love it.

Amateur or professional, you will be hard pressed finding a better lens for the money. The fact that your considering this lens I'm guessing is that you wan't to take beautiful portraits or anything with nice bokeh Let me be the first to say, yes. Yes it does, and boy does it do it well.

An awesome fast lens, a must for any photographers kit, light weight and simple to use, wide apeture and good in low light

Must have lens for every amateur

Sharpness is acceptable wide open, very good from 2.5 onwards; Lightweight Useful focal length on both crop as well as full frame

There none

the perfect macro lens. the LED's work just great. it's so easy to get good macro shots of coins, stamps etc. auto focus, image stabilization, 35mm (56mm 35mm equivalent) and ability to get to 1:1! Saw one review that implied the LED's weren't strong enough - I disagree, they're fine.

Compact and lightweight-an outstanding walk-around lens-Canon's EF 50mm f/1.8 STM is a great entry into the world of EOS prime lenses. With an 80mm effective focal-length on APS-C cameras, 50mm on full-frame cameras, it's an excellent prime lens for portraits, action, even nighttime photography.

Nice lens. Lightweight

Excellent Sharpness . Brokeh Are Damn Good . Best Lens Ever in This Budget . Good built quality . After the Kit Lens I Seriously Recommend You this .

Great price-value relation. Really good lens! Compact, light but sturdy. In my opinion better than his 50mm f/1.4 twin. Quicker to focus and more silent.

Canon's EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM lens is the first of its type with built-in LED lights on each side of the lens to provide full control over subject illumination. These Macro Lites can be adjusted individually to give images a sense of dimension.
