    Not What I Needed

    I like to take good quality photos with minimal knowledge and talent. I thought this lens would give me better quality photos in low light settings. I was not used to having to move around to get the right distance from my subject. This caused me to have slightly blurry photos. I went back to the zoom lens since it's simpler and fits my needs. I'm going to recommend this lens for those with more knowledge of photography than me.

    I have used this 50 mm in the past on different rigs and I can honestly say it is something all photographers should have in their collection. There is no zoom feature, but the f-stop drops to 1.8 which is an excellent choice for low light situations!

    This lens was bought to replace the previous model of the same lens. One of the keys upgrades is the improvement to the auto focus which could be a major problem with the previous version. This lens is a good introduction into prime lenses at wonderful price.

    It's a Canon lens. It's a must-have for most photographers. Gives you the option of having your subject in nice and sharp in your background skewed.
