For the price, this is a great prime lens that is very good in many situations. I've used it for a few days with my Rebel T1i and have been very happy with the results. Sharpness at all f-stops is excellent and it's much faster than the kit lens. Build quality could be a little better but I guess that's why it is so cheap. Just be very careful with it.
Great Beginner Prime Lens June 25, 2010

This lens has an excellent aperture (f1.8) for the price. It allows you to really control the depth of field when taking portraits and other settings where you want to have the background blurred or softened. The lens is cheap because it is made out of plastic. Even the bracket to mount to the camera is plastic. The manual focus ring is very small, about 5mm wide, or just a little wider than a polarizer filters' ring.
This lens is sharper than the standard zoom lens that comes with the Rebel series (18-55mm). So if you are on a budget it is a great buy. I knew it was made out of plastic before I bought it, so I wasn't surprised when i got it. I do not regret this purchase, because for what you get, you can't beat this price.

ONE GREAT PRIME LENS June 6, 2010

I am a long time canon user, about 40 years. I have used canon wide angle prims, telephoto primes and the 50mm prime.
When I decided to get a 50mm I tried the 50mm f/1.4. I lIked the lens and thought it was great, but when I tried to justify the cost
as opposed to the 50mm f/1.8 at 99.00 from Amazon (Adorama). I could not justify the cost difference, now I am so glad I went with the 1.8 version
you will be hard pressed to find a lens this sharp at all f/stops.
This lens has take a beating because of its cheap build. It is a cheap build (in hard plastic) with gread canon glass. Get past the "cheap build"
and realize what you are getting for 99.00 or less.
What do you want good looks 50mm f/1.4 or simple 50mm f/1.8 lens, Both are great lenses, but for the money the 1.8 is the better buy. I haven't gotten a bad picture with it yet. No sharpenoing in photoshop.
TRY IT. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOOSE?
