Very Good For Amatures
Bought this lens with a 50D body instead of going for the 50D lens Kit.
Adverage lens
I bought this lens specifically for macro photography. I have been using this lens for a month now on my Canon T 3i. I find this lens to have a very cheap feel to it and I don't think it would take much abuse. Thats ok because with the low cost of the lens it could easily be replaced.- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Inexpensive
- Lightweight
- Poor construction
- Slow AF
- Slow Focus
Cheap as chips but still flashy
Anyone who has an interest in photography using SLR's and particularly Canon bodies should take a look at this prime 50mm lens. Extremely inexpensive for what it is, it delivers sharp images and does exactly what it says on the tin.- Cheap
- lightweight
- sharp pictures
- Noisy motor
- lack of zoom
Good compromise
This is a reasonable compromise beween a big aperture and big money. The autofocus is a bit slow and hard to get use to, but when it's right it's really right. At the right price, it's a good value lens.
Remarkable Clarity for the $
Use for natural light indoor and outdoor portraits- Crystal Clear
- Easily Interchangeable
- Excellent Dof Control
- Nice Bokeh
- Outstanding value
- Seems to be fragile
Great value for the money.
I wanted a bright lens, and was looking for a 30mm (the crop factor of T2i transform it into a 50mm). As the price was high on 30mm, I bought this 50mm and will not repent. It seems fragile because it's all plastic but has served.
Canon EF 50mm f1.8 MK2: cheap, but cheap for a reason
you might wish you'd paid more for the 1.4, especially if you break it- very sharp and a good lens to buy for beginners
- feels very cheap, and can break easily
- loud AF motor can alert subjects
Nifty Fifty, Canon 50mm Prime lens!
This canon lens is one of the cheapest and most reliable lenses any canon photographer can have.- This lens allows for great quality
- great focal length
- really high apeture
- and autofocus
- It has a plasticy feel and there is no image stabilization
