    I am just starting with photography and after reading some other reviews, I decided that I had to give this lens a go. I really enjoy this lens as it allows me to focus more quickly and I find it's great for when you want to freeze a moment. I use this as my primary lens as most of my pictures are of my kids.

    After reading reviews I decided to get the 50mm. I was not disappointed in the quality. The only thing is getting used to the fixed focal length. The amount of bokeh that is achieved in each image is amazing with this lense.

    I purchased this lens for Christmas for my son. I was on his wish list and he was very excited to receive this gift. It was shipped on time and packaged well to protect the lens. I love that it is Canon and works perfectly with his camera. I already knew the lens had great reviews and I concur.
