Amazing lens

This is really a great lens, shoots great pics in low light without using the flash, and gives pictures a strong depth of field, compared to a kit lens. Really makes the subject stand out. Amazing value and a must have for any photographer.

Not up to the mark

EF 50 mm f/1.8 II is not up to the mark. Auto focus is not accurate and took more time during low light shoot. I you love to record video then this lens is not for you as during every video recording you will get a background sound which will disturb the actual voice of people .

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

I would call it Canon's secret weapon, it's cheap and it's very good optically. You could use it as a short portrait lense on Digital SLR due to it's large aperture and 1,6x50 focal length.

Very Good For Amatures

Bought this lens with a 50D body instead of going for the 50D lens Kit.

After all the recommendations for the 50mm I finally got it and wow it's sharp. I really don't shoot people but I might start more with this lense. If you dont have this lense your missing one of the best deals on canon lenses out there.

Inexpensive; Light; Sharp; Worth every penny

All plastic; No metal Like 1st gen

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
