    This little lens is amazing and very fun to use. I was told however when buying it could zoom in and out and that is not the case it's a fixed lens.

    My wife wanted to buy her first 50mm lens and was looking at one that was in the $400 range, but I talked her in to trying this one first. For the price, the performance is excellent with her Canon SL1. Only downside is that Best Buy does not carry 49mm UV filters in stores. No problem if you buy online, as they offer a good selection of them.
