Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Compact and high-performance, this standard lens is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6 oz. (130g). Its Gaussian optics provides sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.

Amazon.com Product Description
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.

This is a wonderful bargain lens. You can't go wrong with this one. It is plastic but the glass is superb! I love it and use it a lot. I is great for low light.


4 out of 5 stars Great for portraits   July 19, 2008
While I am not a professional by any stretch of the imagination, this lens is an excellently priced for an excellent portrait lens. Used with my Rebel XT, results are great. Although prime lenses aren't for everyone, this is a great addition to an amateur's collection.


4 out of 5 stars I like this lens.   July 17, 2008
This is a fun lens. Definitely good for shooting portraits. Was only disappointed with shipping as it was through another company but I was not informed when it would arrive so I ended up with extra charges. Don't know how that can be improved. Still a good lens to buy!

I'm by no means a professional photographer, but this lense makes some of my photos look professional. If I were you, I would not hesitate a second adding this one to my camera bag.
