Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens
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. Focal length: 50mm Maximum apert (more…)

I bought this lens for under $60 from BH. This is an amazing little lens. It’s light it’s bright it’s sharp.

Best Bang for your Buck and Bokeh
This lens should be part of any amateur photographer’s kit. It is so inexpensive, yet takes incredible pictures.

This should be the growing photographer’s second purchase
After buying a body and using what will probably be the standard kit lens that shipped with it, you’re shopping for a new lens. Yeow!

Performs beyond expectations.
I just started using this wonderful little lens with my new 500D and I’m blown away! I have the 18-55mm kit len and the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.

A must have for the price.
This lens is sharper than my 24-60mm 2.8 that cost 4x as much. It really makes the case for primes. Fun to use.

Great for the price
I’ve just got this lens and I love it. It’s the least expensive canon lens, yet it provides great image quality and has a very good performance with available light.

A must have in the bag (for most people) but…..
I’ve got this lens, and very handy when needed. If you have a crop-sensor dSLR this makes a great, inexpensive portrait lens.

Portrait Lens
I shopped around for this Lens and this was by far the best value I found on the Net. Local camera stores do not even stock this type of Lens.

Nice, but not that well made.
I expected a little more from a canon lens. I’ve had it about a month now and already the autofocus is out (not that big of a deal because I usually use manual anyway).
