Having owned one since 2016, I can say it performs much better than you would expect for the price point. The autofocus produces more consistent results than the 1.4 USM.

[@mmatiasautio]

Super nice video! I really like your style, soothing and informative. And your photos look great too. I love getting good results with cheaper gear (still using the original Canon 5D and I have this lens as well). Another great, small and cheap lens is the EF 40mm 2.8! It’s even tinier and looks almost like a lens cap. It has smoother bokeh and rendering than the 50mm STM in my opinion, despite being a bit wider. Both are great lenses though. Subscribed!

[@skyform]

What a nice review! So calm and relaxing and yet so informative, beautifully done. One question, would this lens work with m200 or would I need an adapter?

[@christianskyes]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it :) You'd definitely need an adaptor. The M200 camera has an EF-M mount, so you need an adaptor in order to mount an EF lens on it.

Got my EF50mm f/1.8 STM lens today. Nothing can beat this lens in this price range. Put it on the 1D Mark IV and 1DX Mark II, and the relults was almost pro L -lens. How can a low budget lens(139€ here in Finland) be so good tool. It's really fun to use this little thing. It doesn't weigh anything, but yes it performs very very good results.

[@yilmaz8rabi3]

great review for the MUST have Lens! you definitely deserve more subscribes and views!! keep up the good work cheers!

[@christianskyes]

Thanks a bunch :) One day, I just need to keep putting out videos.

[@lelandsmith2320]

I value this lens mostly for low light situations. F 1.8 is lower than my other beginner and intermediate lenses and ties my EF 85mm 1.8. It is often carried as a back up lens when I plan to use some other lens. A backup lens is as important s a backup battery or SD card.

[@christianskyes]

Indeed, it's really good in low light conditions. That's a good point about carrying a backup lens as well 🤔

[@dannizytnik5377]

I really like your voice. I comment this before watching thw video

[@christianskyes]

Thanks a lot Danni :) I hope you enjoy the video.

[@malayneum]

the only reason to buy this lens is its price. if you have unlimited budget you should buy the 1.2L

[@szekymisi]

I really like your videos sir! Fantastic quality! As I watch and listen, I am simply calm, the sound soothes me! I can focus on the content! I really like the slow motion! I have never seen such a GOOD video! I was amazed from the first minute! You're my favorite! Undoubtedly the best! I (53 years old) am an amateur photographer, I have a Canon 250 D! I love it. I will buy this Lens if it is available in 58 filter size! I like landscape and object photography to my liking! I hope this lens will work! Your recommendation convinced me. Please make more great videos like this! Thanks! (From Hungary, with Google Translate)

[@christianskyes]

Thanks a lot! I'm really happy that you've enjoyed the video style :) The Canon 250D is great, I reviewed it about 3 months ago :D If you get it, I hope you have a lot of fun with it! And no worries, I'll keep making videos like these :)

[@maaassii35791]

Hey man great video! Which lens would u recommend between the 50mm f1.8 and the 24mm f2.8 for street photography in low light? (On a crop sensor) thank u 🙏🏻

[@christianskyes]

I'd go with the 50mm f1.8. You'll get some more range on a crop sensor, and going down to f1.8 will allow you to get more light, without bumping up the ISO, or shutter speed.

[@maaassii35791]

@@christianskyes Thank u so much man, i really really apreciate your time and advice. love your videos and keep up the good work

[@christianskyes]

@@maaassii35791 Thanks a lot, that's fantastic to hear :) I'm glad I could help 👍

[@alexandraceausu3401]

Thank you for this!

[@harrison00xXx]

I was going for the RF as my 1.4 broke which i repaired and sold Especially on RF mount its so much more enjoyable without the EF RF adapter And i say this as someone who normally prefer EF glass since i use the Meike Filter Adapter

[@RCGJR_]

I love this lens, budget friendly,l and melts the background!

[@christianskyes]

Absolutely :)

[@marinamidorik]

How much time do these lenses last? Does it have to do with time or use? I'm thinking about buying a used one

[@onem6429]

Thanks for this video it was awesome 😄

[@christianskyes]

Thanks a lot, I'm glad you've enjoyed it! Are you planning on getting the lens for yourself at some point? 🤔

I hope you have fun with it :)

[@crnapagoda]

got canon 6d with this lens for around $400 few days ago. i dunno why, but i like the pics i take with this combo more than i did when i had a6000 with 85 1.8. idk if it's the brand, the sensor size or just the focal lenght, but i love it.

[@christianskyes]

There is indeed something magical about this lens 🤔

[@Dala-sn5to]

Does this lens work with Canon EOS RP?

[@arjunmenon2901]

Is it compatible with EOS M50 mark ii ?
