Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great for portraits
I've owned this lens for just over a year now.My other lens is a 17-85mm, and while I use that one when I go outdoors and/or want a wider range, I keep the 50mm on my camera about 90% of the time.These days I'm mostly taking pictures of my 10month old son, and this lens is fabulous for that.Allows me to take great clear, crisp shots indoors with low-ish light.I'll agree it might not be as nice as the 1.4, but for 1/3 the price that's to be expected.If you can afford to go higher, then sure, ...

Rating:  - Pleasantly surprised
I was a bit apprehensive given the quality remarks, but with all the glowing reviews I bought. I took the lens along on a recent vacation and found that I was using it for most of my shots based on the great results. I keep it protected when not in use, no big deal. The camera feels kinda of weird with such a short lens but the shots speak for themselves.
Rating: - much better than the stock camera lens
Let me start by saying that I'm a completely new to digital slr photography. That being said even for someone like me the difference between a stock lens that you get with the digital rebel vs this lens is quite noticeable. You don't need to be a pro to appreciate this lens.
I did a very simple set of tests that involved mounting the camera on a tripod and taking multiple pictures of the same item (a toolbox) with both the stock 18-55mm lens and the 50mm prime lens. I set the focal length ... Read More
Rating: - Noisy, loud, but for $85, I'm not going to complain.
Yes, its noisy, loud, and sometimes slow. But for a f1.8 aperture, for being lightweight, its worth $85 for sure. Great for a beginner photographer like I am to use this to try different shots with a prime lens. As others have noted, construction is plastic, but if I break it, drop it, or whatever, I won't be heartbroken.
Rating: - Good lens, Great price!!
I bought this lens because it was highly recommended because of quality. I was not disappointed. It takes good pictures in low light situations and is an awesome portrait lens.
