Review: Nifty50 - I picked up this lens a few weeks ago, and I’m blown away by how much quality you get for such a compact, affordable piece of gear. It’s lightweight, easy to carry, and works beautifully with my Canon mirrorless camera. The image quality is excellent — sharp in the center, lovely color rendering, and that f/1.8 aperture gives a smooth, creamy background blur perfect for portraits and low-light shots. For true sharpness of the lens, shoot at f/2.8-4. Autofocus is quick and accurate, though you can hear a faint noise if you’re recording video. The build feels solid for the price, even if it’s not weather-sealed. Overall, this lens is an amazing value. It’s a great addition to any kit, especially if you’re just starting out or want a versatile prime without spending a fortune. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First time lens
*by B***W on 4 January 2026*

The Canon 50mm f/1.8 is one of those golden lenses that isn’t too expensive. It’s a great first lens to learn the basics of framing and still photography. Autofocus is fairly fast, and in low light it really shines thanks to the wide aperture. The size is perfect for travel. It’s great for close shots like portraits, but also works well if you step back for landscapes or car photos. It’s easy to mount on a Canon RF body, feels well built, and delivers sharp, clean images. Shooting in RAW really brings out even more detail, no matter if you’re using a low- or high-end body
