 Cheap and Love It! October 1, 2007

This lens is so cheap but it's a great introductory prime lens. I bought this with my Canon XTi and haven't taken it off! I love how beautiful the images are that come from this lens. When I have used my zoom (which was only maybe once when I first got the camera) I have been disappointed with the images in comparison to the prime lens. I just bought the Canon 28mm 1.4 and can't wait to get it. Go Prime!!!

The purchase of this lens was the culmination of several months of reading reviews and agonizing over cost vs. quality. It seemed like I should buy the higer priced f/1.4 but, as I wanted to upgrade my standard zoom lens too, I could not justify the expense. To my delight, this is an excellent lens. I've used it for some portrait work and at a recent wedding. It really turns out some beautiful pictures. Although I'm not a professional, I do work locally and the addition of this lens to my kit is a significant upgrade. I highly recommend this lens for its quality as well as the price.
ONE GREAT PRIME LENS June 6, 2010

I am a long time canon user, about 40 years. I have used canon wide angle prims, telephoto primes and the 50mm prime.
When I decided to get a 50mm I tried the 50mm f/1.4. I lIked the lens and thought it was great, but when I tried to justify the cost
as opposed to the 50mm f/1.8 at 99.00 from Amazon (Adorama). I could not justify the cost difference, now I am so glad I went with the 1.8 version
you will be hard pressed to find a lens this sharp at all f/stops.
This lens has take a beating because of its cheap build. It is a cheap build (in hard plastic) with gread canon glass. Get past the "cheap build"
and realize what you are getting for 99.00 or less.
What do you want good looks 50mm f/1.4 or simple 50mm f/1.8 lens, Both are great lenses, but for the money the 1.8 is the better buy. I haven't gotten a bad picture with it yet. No sharpenoing in photoshop.
TRY IT. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOOSE?
Great Beginner Prime Lens June 25, 2010

This lens has an excellent aperture (f1.8) for the price. It allows you to really control the depth of field when taking portraits and other settings where you want to have the background blurred or softened. The lens is cheap because it is made out of plastic. Even the bracket to mount to the camera is plastic. The manual focus ring is very small, about 5mm wide, or just a little wider than a polarizer filters' ring.
This lens is sharper than the standard zoom lens that comes with the Rebel series (18-55mm). So if you are on a budget it is a great buy. I knew it was made out of plastic before I bought it, so I wasn't surprised when i got it. I do not regret this purchase, because for what you get, you can't beat this price.
