I think this lens is still and will always be relevant. Reasonably-priced, amazing bokeh, low-light monster, and a superb sharp result. Personally, I really like the sharpness.

[@LamNguyen-nj6er]

You Can’t call it reasonable price, it’s super cheap price for the value and the performance. Reasonable price should be some other canon lenses which cost around $1000

[@TanTansConcoction]

Canon 50mm is one of my first ever primes lens back in 2017 😊 still highly recommended for beginner 😊

[@RudyVisuals]

Totally agree!

[@gayleexplores4765]

It is amazing! The only downside is that it acts like a 80mm on my 70D. So, indoors is really difficult unless you need detail shots.

[@Life_Through_Galleries]

So you wouldn't advise it for medium sized indoor venues?

[@gayleexplores4765]

@@Life_Through_Galleries It's too cramped unless you know you have space and room to back up. So not recommended if you need to take wide shots of things.

[@Life_Through_Galleries]

@@gayleexplores4765 So I decided to get full frame mirrorless and an adapter so it'll scale back to that 50mm. Those things considered, and I should be okay for my reasons aforementioned?

The f1.8 was my first ever prime, a truly great little lens. I've since upgraded to the f1.4 for the better image quality

[@RudyVisuals]

Good choice!

[@raymondbenton5928]

I just bought this lens with the Canon 10-18mm f4.5 5.6, both for $125.00 total, to use with my Fringer adapter on both my Nikon Z30 and Nikon Zf. Playing with them on the Z30 first. On my Z30, it is about a 75mm lens (portrait length).

[@kavi6813]

I'm not planning on moving on to mirrorless cameras yet, I like my canon 80d too much and the best thing is that all the ef lenses are getting so much cheaper now 😁😁

[@RudyVisuals]

You're pretty spoilt for choice lenses wise :D

[@TheMamuchos]

We absolutely LOVE this lens! Well, I finally made the jump and got the R5 and since I am planning to keep my EF lenses for a bit, I got the adapter so I can keep using it with the mirrorless camera. Great detailed review on this master lens Aaron and Wera!

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank guys! Enjoy the R5!!

[@TheMamuchos]

@@RudyVisuals will do.

[@juliuslinus1161]

This was my first ever lens! I sold it because the AF seemed to get worse after a few years but it was great at first.

[@retrogamerz9576]

I have one! Admittedly it gathers dust now but glad to hear you still think it's good even now.

[@RudyVisuals]

Dust if of and use it :D

[@deealex1402]

i just got this lense ,ive been mostly doing nature and wild life photography and i needet something smaller than i have now, so i got this so i could do other type of pics too. so cant wait to try it. i have heard a lot good about this small but mighty lense.thanks for video.

[@RudyVisuals]

Great choice, hope you enjoy it!

I don't think I know any photographers that did not start out with this lens. Great summary 👍

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks for watching!

[@cathycat9169]

I love my nifty fifty ❤it's my favourite lens to take on vacations and to go around the town trying to be a street photographer 😂

[@RudyVisuals]

Definitely a great choice for street photog!

[@JustChidinma]

Just got this lens and can't wait to try it out on my 250d camera

[@kvu1097]

How do you like it? I also have 250d so just wondering

[@JustChidinma]

@@kvu1097 I really love it. Though, initially I was struggling with getting a better setting for it..but bit anymore

[@Mre942]

I have an old 58mm, it gives me pretty much 1:1 scale in the viewfinder (so maybe 59mm or 60mm is what my eye sees). :)

[@lethansscroggins3655]

Fantastic review. Having this lens, I think you nailed the review perfectly. I really appreciate your unbiased honest reviews.

[@RudyVisuals]

Much appreciated!

[@CJ-uh8bk]

Got myself a used nifty fifty for £90, in great condition and they’re currently around €150 on Amazon right now so I got a great deal, such an amazing lens

[@RudyVisuals]

Nice one!

[@lolliang6620]

Had this lens years ago my one problem with it is that you end up using it so much that all your photos look the same thats why i like using zooms

[@RudyVisuals]

That's a really good point actually!

[@mihaelaclaudiap..2]

I am learning so much from you guys, you are always doing an amazing job, honestly so professional and well explained! i have 2 lenses for my Canon, one is the 22 mm and the other one the standard one I think it's 45mm. I am very pleased with them and in the future I will add some others to my ''collection''!

[@RudyVisuals]

Our pleasure! We've really been enjoying your videos :D

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you very much!

[@plugthestreets_za]

the intro was too dope makes me want to but the lens now

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you :)

[@Rabixter]

Just got one, near mint condition, £77. I used the old plastic mount version (mark II?) a few years ago, which I eventually broke. Hoping this one is better.

[@viksthing]

Great Video Rudy. Rudy smooth flow as usual top notch. This is a legendary lens. Cannot beat them those days including the awesome nikon 50mm 1.8.. But this lens can do wonders even today. I should try reviewing the Nikon lens in my new channel.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks man! Would love to see you review the Nikon version for sure!

[@sirelegance89]

The ultimate rite of passage, aka the canon nifty fifty - the plastic fantastic!

[@RudyVisuals]

Absolutely :D

[@matthuck378]

I hope mirrorless doesn't kill DSLR. I like a real viewfinder! An EVF just isn't as good, unless you spend over 1K on the body...And even then, they drain the battery a lot more than shooting with a viewfinder. Thankfully, you can get a converter to use EF lenses on mirrorless mounts, but you cannot do the opposite...So if you get into mirrorless and buy lenses, and then (for some reason) get a DSLR, those mirrorless lenses will never work with it.

[@Yew-Tyewbe]

I just got a canon 5d mk2 as a second camera finally. I film weddings as a hobby and was debating which lens to go with. You have just convinced me to go with the nifty fifty! Thanks!

[@RudyVisuals]

Amazing, hope you enjoy it! It will pair great with your 5d mk2!

[@cceanna]

The price is definitely a big selling point for me!!

[@Brameriz]

On a Cannon M50 Mark 2 would I need a adapter to use the Nifty fifty lens ❔

[@RudyVisuals]

You would yes!

[@PeterandYen]

Our very first lens 😂 but quickly realized that it's not actually that great for run n gun vlogging. Awesome quality for the cost but I see it more as a photographers tool 🔧 📷 Question do you guys use filmora for editing?

[@RudyVisuals]

Yeah it's not great really a vlogging lens at all! We use Premiere most of the time but we do use Filmora for our other projects and quick videos/social media etc

[@vxyz5219]

Very helpful, thanks

[@RudyVisuals]

Glad it was helpful!

[@adliendavid]

Is this compatible with Canon EOS 750D?

[@wenkoffs]

Ordered it while watching this video:)

[@RudyVisuals]

Hope you enjoy it as much as we have :)

[@namhuyvinhxuan6661]

Hello Mr Aaron, very good video I like it 👍 I to have canon 50mm lens it take very good photos

Thank you :))

[@markanthonyhurston]

Good stuff … nice tee shirt ( eg hatch ) love Honda eg and ej1

[@zackace335]

You guys work that 50mm lens don't you? Nice job! I think it would be interesting to see this compared to a more modern 50mm like the RF mount version.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thanks! Yeah we defo need to include more direct comparisons in the future!

[@nickandhelmi]

Ohh need to try filmora. I actually got the mobile version🙂

nice lens! it reminds me my old Nikkor 35mm F1.8. the colours, the bokeh...sweet!!

[@joannamccloud]

Looking for macro or zoom lens both searches brought me here. I have a canon T6i. Recommendations??

[@AgionOros]

Awesome lens, very good review my friend.

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you :))

[@getrobbed7818]

Is this compatible with Canon EOS 2000d? Newbie here. Thanks for sharing this video. More power.

[@RudyVisuals]

Yes it will work great with it but there will be a 1.6x crop so it will be more zoomed in than 50mm.

[@savillecreations8046]

Thanks for this video. Is that a variable ND you are using? Which one?

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you! Yup it's a Hoya pro nd8 :)

Is it great for doing model photos?

[@druidxbl1121]

is this a good combo with eosr100?

wonderful review, i definitely need to get me one of this, honestly, i made all my video using Iphone :), i need to upgrade soon :)

Can i use this 50mm lens on my Canon Rebel T7??? Sorry im still a beginner very eager to learn lots more

Yes you can :)

[@yankarda144]

Nice review! How about sharpness between EF50mm f1.8 and EF2470L mk II at 50mm?

[@RudyVisuals]

Thank you! Sorry we don't have a mkii of that lens, but the 50mm is definitely sharper than the mark i version of that lens at 50mm.

[@antoninomacaluso2094]

Good good 👏👏👏👏

[@rdsaplala]

Hi, I am a newbie planning to get this as a step up from my kitlens, can it also be used for landscape photography? Also, may I confirm if it can be fitted into an EF-S mount then used again for when I upgrade into a full-frame camera with EF mount? Thanks.

[@DRC92]

Should I be worried about their being no IS on the lens? I am planning on using it with an R8 which has no IBIS

[@RudyVisuals]

If you plan to shoot video then yeah it's best to use it with a gimbal for smooth footage for best results.

[@DRC92]

@@RudyVisuals na just photos!

[@ACRAWLB4UWALK]

So is it good for shooting video of people performing? Will it work with autofocus on a Canon T4i?

[@RudyVisuals]

If they're moving quickly, like dancing, the focusing would probably be a bit too slow.

[@ACRAWLB4UWALK]

@@RudyVisuals Okay, thanks for your reply. Is there a zoom lens that will work for action video shoots?

[@Khaws-tau_saib3]

Is the Len gonna fit my EOS R?

[@RudyVisuals]

It can with an adapter :)

[@joannamccloud]

Also can i do videos with this nail polish/stamping

[@ComicPierre]

I recently purchased a Canon 70D because I want to do some podcasting from my home office, my set up is on my desk and the camera sits about 1-2feet away, I'll be sitting doing normal talking is this a good lens, I heard something about it not being good for Vlogging

[@RudyVisuals]

Hi there. If you don't need to walk and talk style vlog it should do ok but ideally you'd want something a bit wider like a 24 or 35mm focal length for vlogging.

[@paolomiguel2284]

This lens is compatible to EOS m100 or do I need to get adaptor?

[@RudyVisuals]

You would need an adapter for ef lenses

[@pjourneys5337]

So good Canon !

[@edmundengland]

what are the good looking speakers in the background?

compatibility with a T6 Rebel?

[@RudyVisuals]

Yes it will work fine but with a 1.6x crop.

[@extractsfromthediaryofaman4205]

Noob question, is this compatible with the Sony ZV E10 ?

[@yeshuaalbarico7152]

Is it recommended in an aps c sensor?

Yes still a great lens for aps c, but it will be cropped tighter at around 80mm

will this lense fit on a m50?

How much are the photo samples edited?

Bro can I have the lighroom preset....

[@matthuck378]

Canon should make their 50mm available as a kit lens, but then no one would actually buy the 18-55...

[@RudyVisuals]

The funny thing is that back in like the canon ae1 days, they did used to come with a 50 1.8 as a standard kit lens!
