    This lens is highly recommended for any new photographer or one kn a budget. It might be the cheapest canon lens but it is definitely one of the best. It made me a much better photographer because I had to move my body instead of zooming. It's also great in low light or when you want a lot of background blur. Only downfall is it's not as sharp as an L lens but for the money you can't complain

    Having done considerable research on this lens, I purchased one as a gift. The report that I got back was an excited "this is an AWSOME lens." I plan to soon purchase one for myself.

    The 50mm is a perfect all around lens when I hike. It makes the camera so much lighter and with a few tweeks I can take pics without my big lenses that look great!
