I kicked around ordering this lens or the 1.4 lens. I'm glad I made the choice for this one. Hard to beat this lens for the cost.

Comments about Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens:

I am somewhat of an amateur photographer/videographer but after purchasing the Canon 50mm f1.8 II, I felt like a pro! All of my shots spoke with inspiration and robust character. The simplicity of a fixed lens and excellent build quality and magnificent depth of field made the purchase a no brainer. There is only one mis-step, and that is the motor while shooting video... it is a bit loud but I feel the only way to focus in video is manual. so there is no real mis-step at all. They don't call it the Nifty-50 for nothin'!

This is a great lens for portraits, and allows more light into your photos

I've been wanting this lens since I purchased my DSLR last year. It work great for portraits and also is excellent for HD video. The best lens you can get for the money.

Comments about Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens:

This lens is so great- its the perfect amount of aperture to get that really close shot, but remember, you can't get too close. The no zoom thing threw me off at first, but this lens is so awesome- you'll get used to it. I went from ordinary pics to some creative photography!

Comments about Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens:

Love the wide opening of this lens. It gives such a nice blurred background. 50mm is a great focal length. I think this prime lens is super close. I do wish it could focus closer than 1.5 feet, though.

I'm a videographer and do lots of local bands music videos. Its absolutely perfect for what I need. Sure the plastic body makes me nervous but hey, cant beat the price! A must have for everyone regardless of what you use your camera for in my opinion...

Comments about Canon Normal EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens:

I only use this lens occasionally as my 28-135mm is what I call my 'walk-around-lens'. I do use it when I want to shoot close up or want to use the reversing ring with it for really close ups.

I find this lens to be light weight and very sharp.

My only 'wish it were different' would be for it to have IS (image stabilization) which I have really enjoyed on the 28-135. That is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5.

After reading many reviews on "the" lense to have in your camera bag, I decided on this lense. I was a little skeptical ofcourse because you want to spend your money wisely in this sort of purchases but after recieving the lense I am so impressed and don't regret my purchase in the slightest! The lense itself is very fast even in low lighting and the picture quality is so amazing when compared to the kit lense with the Rebel T2i. Also, this lense takes excellent macro photos and its a solid 50 mm so you don't have to zoom just move exactly where you want and if it does not auto focus you can switch to manual to get your perfect shot! Overall a great lense! My only complaint would be just the noise from the lense as it is auto focusing but if you use manual you don't have this issue.

This is a great lens and I am extremely pleased. I ordered this for my Rebel XT. This is my only lens other than the kit lens. I purchased it mainly to take portraits of my children. It does exactly what I expected and I am very happy I purchased this lens over a more expensive one. As an amateur, it focuses fast and the f/1.8 is more than adequate for my needs. Having a cropped body camera, the focal length is perfect for shooting my kids. Action shots and stills alike have turned out wonderful.

Recently bought a T3i that came with the 18-55mm kit lens. I read a lot of reviews and decided I needed a nifty Fifty. it was well worth it. I use my 50mm now more than the kit lens. the bokeh(background blur) is amazing, and the speed of this thing is awesome.At f/1.8 you won't miss a shot again.This lens is incredibly fast compared to the kit lens. I never knew what I was missing till I bought this.And for around 100 bucks it's a nice addition to your lens collection. It's almost a necessity, almost ever photographer owns a nifty fifty.Be aware when buying this, you will not be able to zoom at all, I own both kit lens,the 18-55mm as well as the 55-250mm telephoto. But out of those, the 50mm is on my camera 90% of the time. The photos are that great! It takes excellent portraits.Some of the more professionals around here may complain about this lens, fair enough. but if your just starting out, and like me, came from a point & shoot to this, you will find this lens more than adequate. I review my shots and see nothing wrong with them, in fact family and friends have asked me to get some prints for them.As for the plastic casing, I don't find it all that bad, after all, aren't most of our cameras made of plastic? I'm not taking photos with it in a warzone, so as long as you treat it properly it will be fine.It's a worthy investment,you'll love the photos you get with it, so buy it now!

Great for portraits, closeups, using different lighting techniques.

I have to agree with the people who think this lens is great. After I got over trying to zoom in or out, it was a breeze to use. The short focal range makes it perfect for portraits. First lens I put on to cover a story.
