so happy
I am so happy I finally bought this lense. I had been researching this lens and the 1.4 and finally got this. Its worth every cent and you definitly won't be disappointed. If you are someone debating on those 2 lenses, just get this one to star with because it will familarize yourself with prime lenses as well. I reccomend this lense to anyone

A go to lens.
This lens is such a good bargain. At f1.8 it is great for low light work. I go to this lens anytime I do family events or get togethers inside and at night. At under $100 everyone needs to have one.

Very very pleased
The lens is great. I used it to test my Xsi as I was having focusing problems and it revealed it clearly. I sent my camera on warranty repair and came back perfect. The low f-stop allows you to see the screen marking in low light. The only drawback is the build which OK for my use. Sharpness wise its great.

Amazing little lens
I love this lens. Its so cheap yet it offers breathtaking photos with y 40D.
I'm not even sure I will ever use my kit lens, 28-135mm IS. It also is a great lens but the 50 is so light and compact.
