Can't be beat in this price range!

When looking for a quality lense for a name brand camera, as a hobby photographer, everything usually breaks down into two groups: Lenses intended for professional or career photographers that cost more than you are willing to pay. Specialty lenses that have a more limited use but fit your budget.

This lens is like the 50mm 1.8--you need to have it in your case now and perhaps forever&mdash;until you have a lot more money, these are the lenses you're going to use all the time. The kit lens also falls into this category.
Pros:
  • Inexpensive
  • Necessary
  • Useful
Cons:
  • Blurry Focus
  • Poor in Low Light
  • Slow Focus

Good lens for the price

Pros:
  • Consistent Output
  • Easily Interchangeable
  • Lightweight
Cons:
  • Weak Casing

Pros:
  • cheap
  • light
  • long
Cons:
  • soft and CA at wide apertures
