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

There are no directions on how to "use" the lens though the description for application is very well done. I will have to find someone to teach me how to use it. It didn't seem to move when I tried to automatic focus it.
Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II En mycket prisvärd optik!
I slutändan så är detta en optik som jag rekommenderar för många där ute, det är ett objektiv som är lätt att använda och det fungerar nästan lika bra som ett lite dyrare objektiv, om man vill ha ett objektiv som man inte vill betala flera tusen för så är detta det perfekta objektivet!- Jag som nu har använt detta objektivet ett tag och som även har använt många andra objektiv är väldigt nöjd med detta objektivet
- det som är mest positivt är att det väger inte mycket
- det har ett underbart skärpedjup och det är även ett objektiv som fungerar väldigt bra att filma med
- Om man tycker
- Det som kanske kan vara lite negativt med detta objektivet är att det inte är det bästa som har gjort
- det är ganska gammalt nu men det fungerar fortfarande bra för det
- Det mest negativa med denna optik är att det inte finns någon mätare på ringen som man ställer in manuella fokusen med vilket gör
Good Inexpensive Lens
Brought this lens with my T3i almost 2 yrs ago and have used it many times. I've since upgraded to the 70d and it's still going strong. For the price it can't be beat. Yeah it's plastic, but the optics are great and it takes really good, clean pictures.- Super-sharp images
- Poor build quality
Great value!
I debated about purchasing this lens becuase of the plastic build quality, but I have been amazed at the sharpness and quality of the pictures - particularly for portraits. The super fast F1.8 lets you get that nice, short depth of field & bokeh, without spending $$$$.- tack sharp
- quick focus
- small & light
- a bit loud
- too much plastic
Good Cheap Lens
This lens should be in every photographers bag, whether serious or hobbyist. Great lens and for the price, you cannot beat it. One thing tho is the build is very "Plastic Like" but for the price you should not expect it to be built like an L lens.- Consistent Output
- Easily Interchangeable
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Weak Casing
