    Amazing lens that takes beautiful photos. Only downfall being that there is no zoom with it being a prime lens but the sharpness it produces is worth the trade.

    This is a great 'little' lens and is a must if you shoot any type of portrait or low light scenes. I've used it at Jazz fest., evening nights on the lake and still life and landscape shots. All of which were enhanced with the EF 50mm f/1.8.

    This is a must have lens for your bag. Definitely an upgrade compared with the kit lens. On a half sensor you must adjust your distance, but the quality is great especially paired with a filter lens.

    This is the first lens that all the photography enthusiasts should be buy-amateur or pro. Close up portrait shots and low light pictures come out very well. Does not dig a hole in your wallet too. U will be amazed at how much this lens can do at this price

    This is my first prime lens and I absolutely love it. For manual photography, you're forced to really learn and understand your camera even more. As far as artistry is concerned, this lens adds an extra something to your photos with depth of field!

    I purchased this lens because it has an f stop of f/1.8. I primarily use the lens with a set of extension tubes for extreme close up macro photography. It is a great lens for a very good price.

    Well not sure if the true nifty fifty is the 1.4 or this 1.8 but it works great either way. Fast focus and wonderful pictures from this lens. Needed in a rush for a film shoot and fit the bill.

    The "nifty fifty" is a must have in your camera bag. The aperture of the lens is excellent for the price. I would highly recommend this lens for the amateur to mid level photgrapher.

    I've found this to be one of the best inexpensive lenses you can get for the Canon. It's perfect for getting that wonderful bokeh backgrounds or nicely blurred for portrait shots. Everyone should have one of these lenses in their camera bag.

    This is a great lens for beginners on a budget. It was easy to operate and takes great pictures. They didn't have it in stock so I prepaid it and they had it at the store in a few days. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
