    You won't find a better lens for this money. f1.8 is pretty fast. It's small and light. Great for portraits and as a general light weight walking around lens.

    I like this one much better than the stock lense. Seeing is believing. And I can definitely see through this lense and get some great pics.

    The lense performance exceeded my expectations especially with the slightly higher aperture than I originally was wanting to get.

    Don't bother with the 1.4 USM, this is honestly nearly as good for way less money.

    Good lens! Arrived really quick. I like that it actually lets you move the lens to focus. My other lens doesn’t let me do that. The only bad thing would be that it is so zoomed in, I don’t know if there’s a way to zoom out and I just haven’t noticed.

    As the second gen of 50mm F/1.8, it has better build quality and image quality (consider the price). A great fixed lens for entery level portrait

    Nifty Fifty

    When I purchased my Canon t7i it came with two kit lenses, neither of which was a prime lens... they were both variable "zoom" lenses. All my photography friends urged me to purchase a 50mm prime lens. It's almost the only lens I use now. Totally changed the way I shoot. This is the less-expensive version of the lens, with a plastic housing, and $200 less than the all aluminum version. It functions essentially the same and is lighter weight. If you are an amateur or hobby photographer, this should be your next purchase.

    Love this lens. As a street photographer I wanted a big lens that wouldn't bring too much attention to me. Great image quality for the price.
