    Love this lens, keep in mind it is a portrait lens so you have to stand a few feet back from your subject if you want to photograph anything else

    Got this lens to have a closer field of view and for that it does perfectly, however due to that, you really need to position your self in the shot you want to take as you can't zoom in or out with it like with the base lens. Still, I have no complaints, it sure helps keep the DSLR lighter and more portable too!

    This is hands down the best value lens Canon makes. No question this should be your first lens after using your kit lens.
