Editorial Review: Product Description: This is considered the standard lens for use with Canon SLR cameras Discount Shopping Product Description: Lightweight and affordable, the Canon EF 50mm lens--which offers a fast f/1.8 aperture--is an excellent lens for people who prefer a fixed focal length. Canon's lightest EF lens at a mere 4.6 ounces, the lens boasts a traditional Gauss-type optical design that delivers a sharp performance even when wide open. As a result, the lens provides an image that's extremely close to how your eye perceives a subject, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field. In addition, the lens focuses as close as 18 inches, helping you take extreme close-ups. Finally, the lens offers an excellent color balance. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

 Rating:  - a GREAT lens for the price! This is a REALLY fun lens to use! I got it for my Canon Rebel XTi, and have used it constantly since. The lens casing does, of course, feel cheap and when focusing is slightly louder than a normal lens, but the pictures come out crisp and have good color saturation. I recently used this lens to shoot a preschool graduation in a darkened auditorium, and the pictures came out fantastic. I'd definitely reccommend this lens. Rating: - A+ lens for the pricePro's: -Great DoF (f/1.8) -Great bokeh -Inexpensive Cons: -Plastic, unlike the mk1... I've heard it's very easy to break... If you drop it it's a goner -AF is noisy -Focusing ring is annoying Overall: Overall, I love this lens... It's great, especially for the price. If you can't take perfect care of your lens, save up for the mk1, which is about $300 more, made of metal, and is f/1.4. But if you want a great lens for a cheap ...

The construction quality isn't stellar (i.e. come on, it's plastic) but I have been generally impressed with the quality of images it produces. I shoot w/ this on a 5D and it produces fantasticly shallow depth of field, great colors, and surprisingly sharp images. I would recommend getting this lens, if for no other reason than as a backup. Rating: - Best deal for the buckIt's a really good product for this price. It is very light, it is nicely build and you get really nice portraits with this lens. I'm really glad about this investment. Rating: - Best portrait lens for the money!I purchased this lens from Amazon for $80 and got the special offer: free Tiffen 52mm UV filter. The lens performs like a pro lens. The body is more fragile than the metal-body version, but that one is $250 more. If you are careful with it and/or keep it on the camera everything will be fine. If you drop it or twist it on and off in a hurry, I'm sure it will eventually get damaged. It is wonderful in low light...gyms, churches, auditoriums, etc. Is only $80 with a free UV filter, yet it will be one of ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
