    This lens is an excellent entry into adding lenses to your kit. On Canon DSLRs with cropped sensors the focal length is effectively 80-85+/-. This isn't a prime lens, but for the $$ it is a total no brainer.

    Quality lens for cheap price. Metal mount and well built. Portraits looks awesome. Cons are ,not good for landscape. Wide angle is smaller specially if coupled with Crop sensor Camera.

    This lens is really great. Especially for the price. Has a great depth of field range. The colors are great. Has very smooth and accurate focus for video or photo. You really can't beat it for the price.

    This is one of my favorite lenses. I tend to have this on my camera at all times. Great for portraits, but not for landscapes (since there is no zoom). I did read other reviews before purchasing.

    This was our first lense purchase and we love it! It takes great low light pictures, focuses fast, is quiet,and good construction. We haven't taken it off of the camera since purchase. Great for kids photos.

    can not go wrong with this purchase. you capture what your eyes sees without distortions of any kind. You get an amazing f1.8 which is super for low light captures and, in addition, you get a wonderful bokeh.

    This 50mm prime lens is almost unbeatable at its price point and a great little lens to have in your case. A prime in this size (50mm) is a versatile lens that is useful for many applications.

    Got the lens but never thought this will give me the most sharpest pictures for the amount of money I payed for. I will get another copy. I hope will be good like this one.
