    Everyone who take Photo's will need this 50mm Len's from Canon. This is a well made prime Len's and well worth the money. A great all around Len's for portrait and general pictures.

    Good value for my camera tool kit and Best Buy price made it competitive with other sources. Walked in, bought it, and walked out with it. What a concept?!
