    The autofocus motor is in fact, much quieter. I bought this after I broke my 50mm/1.8 II as it was made of plastic. This is much sturdier and the focus is very quick. Highly recommend - especially because of the price!

    I absolutely enjoy taking portraits pictures with my 50mm canon lens! Definitely one of my favorite purchases. Even for a beginner it gives me the blur effect everyone loves to see in amazing portrait photographs. If you don't have this lens i highly recommend getting yourself one. You wont be disappointed!
