 Great Lens! August 20, 2008
Don't let the price or the plastic body fool you-- this is a great lens that takes great shots. I am still learning the ins and outs of shooting with a DSLR and this lens makes my shots look like a pro. The only complaint is having to zoom with you feet, so it's not as handy when taking group photos, but if you've got the patience to compose your subjects without the ability to zoom easily it's not an impossible feat. Worth every penny.
 Great lens for the price! August 20, 2008
I literatly just got this lens about an hour ago delivered to my work, I shot a couple pics and couldn't believe the quality considering my kit lens that came with my Canon Rebel XTi is junk. For the price this lens is a definitly good purchase. I've read that it falls apart after normal use but totally worth it if you can get a couple months of nice pictures.
Excellent lens August 16, 2008
As usual, Canon puts out an excellent product. The vendor shipped the lens out to me on schedule and I had it when they said I would
Thanks.

I don't really care for this lens. The build doesn't bother me, it just doesn't seem like it was all the everyone raved about. I've used it at weddings and portrait sessions and again...no big deal.
Insane Quality, Low Price, Everyone should own one August 15, 2008
I am a college student and an emerging photographer, which is a terrible combination. As many of you know photography can be an expensive hobby/art and college prices are rising. So what to do? Research lenses, save up money, and hope you aren't disappointed.
This lens did not disappoint. I was skeptical at first thinking that an inexpensive lens would mean terrible quality, unreliable build, and overall crappy pictures. BUT, on the advice of a friend I spent the small amount. I haven't taken the lens off my camera since. You will not find a higher clarity lens for this amount of money. I recommend it to everyone. This lens will always hold a special place in my heart because with it I discovered what the art of photography really is. Unfortunately now I am looking for a zoom lens with the same quality (I have been spoiled with this one) and the prices are outrageous. So buy the 50mm. Everyone should own one.
