Great Lens For The Price |
|
I purchased this lens for low light shooting and shallow DOF. The lens works great for these types of pictures. It has a less than ideal AF, but once you shoot with it a bit you will love the lens. |

Best Value Of Any Lens, Period. |
|
This lens is hands down the best value of any lens you will ever buy. It's the perfect focal length for most portraiture, with either full frame cameras, or APS-C cameras that use the 1.5/1.6 multiplier, making this effectively a 75/85mm lens. The f/1.8 max aperture is so much fun to play with, and a great way to learn about Depth of Field. It makes it hard not to take EVERY photo at that fast aperture. The SINGLE tick mark against the lens I have is it's focus is not 100% perfect - sometimes I get images that are ever so slighty out of focus. But it's an $80, $90 lens, so I can't even count that against it, so much so that I gave it the full 5 stars. If I could give 1/2 star increments, I would have given it 4.5, but forced to choose, I like it enough that it earned the full 5 stars. But beware, buying this lens will just lead you to want the 1.4, or 1.2L....at least, that is what it has done to me. |

Super Value |
|
Read quite a few reviews on this lens. So many stated the lens construction was not up to par-that it broke with repeated use---well it all depends how you treat it. I treat this lens just as I do my more expensive ones. So far, I have nothing but good to say about it. I do a lot of photos at gymnastic events where flash is TABOO. This little " piece of plastic " performs VERY well. Would recommend to anyone wanting an affordable lens with beautiful results. |

Very good canon lens |
|
i absolutly love to capture images with this lens. The absense of zoom is more of an artistic additive. It takes extremmly clear and crisp photo. I did't notice any noise during focusing at all. I also bought the tiffin filter along with it. |

You get what you pay for |

I purchased this as an addition for my d40 equipment. I returned it the next day. The price should have been a tip off. It hunted in low light about 80% of the time and 20% in good light. It miss focused badly in more than have the 50 test exposures I took. The build quality is definitely Canon's low end; feeling very plastic. It was also surprisingly noisy for such a small lens. I'll stick with the higher end Canon lenses like the 24-105L (which I love!) |
