Great lens for the price. Very sharp lens and fast autofocus. Great bokeh.

I bought this to carry around for if I needed a fast lens for low light situations. It does the job well and creates beautiful background blurs.

I use this for some portraits indoors and outdoors on my Canon 7D, although I prefer taking a few steps back while using my 85 1.8. The AF is slow and noisy, but not nearly as noisy as the Canon 35 f2. For a little over $100, you can't complain much about it. I bet that the Sigma 50 1.4 would have been better bokeh-wise and build-wise, but at 5x the cost. This lens is actually very close to my 85 focal range, so if I could turn back the clock, I would have saved for a 28 1.8 or a Sigma 30 1.4.

[$] lens? yes, please! Such a great toy. Cheap, easy and great picture quality, this lens should be in everyone's bag. Carry it around on day trips, shoot nature and obsess over my dog are just a few its many and regular uses. I have heard some people complain about the plastic build and its perceived durability but come on, its a camera lens. You should be babying your equipment anyways, its not like we are talking about sporting goods. Add the ES 62 Lens Hood if you're overly worried about its build, this sun shade will double as a protective shield for the lens. The auto-focus is a bit noisy but its neither bothersome or distracting. This lens is also a good learning tool for beginners not ready to drop big bucks on the high end lenses.

Cheap, but a very nice little lens. Image quality is outstanding in comparison to its price. Fast, compact, light and very satisfied. Highly recommended!!

Makes me look like I know what I'm doing. I just set it on Aperture priority and with minimal adjustment, click away - getting very good pictures

Many online reviews describe this lens well: great optical quality, excellent price and cheap construction. A great value overall, considering the price.
What surprised me was the performance in low light. I was able to capture pictures at F1.8 that I didn't think possible. I strongly recommend it.

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

This is a great lense for the price, feels a little cheap due to the plastic construction, but it always takes reliable focus on auto. I read reviews describing that the focus ring is too small, but I haven't had that issue personally. Pitfalls of course there are no markings at all on the lense so if you shoot that way, you may want to go for the extra $$ for the f/1.4.

I'm a Video/Film producer who runs my own Production Company JJack Productions in the Chicagoland area. I decided to get this lens simply b/c I needed a fast lens for cheap. Image quality is great! I use it on my Canon 60D to shoot HD Video for clients. Great for interviews. Great in low light. Build quality is reasonably low. Made of cheaper plastic material. Focus pull ring is terrible. Not only hard to get to, but it's not very smooth. I'm thinking of creating a ring to go over the current ring just in case I need to rack focus.End Result: Great for it's price! If you are just looking for a nice cheap fast prime lens this is a great option. I definately won't return it! I will use it often. If you have the [$] get it!

This is a lens that fits the descriptions. It is great to have the ability to have a F 1.8... makes for easier night shoots. The focus is solid but not as smooth as on a more expensive lens but for about a hundred bucks I couldn't ask for anything better.

Got the product as featured in a short time after ordering. Great service.

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

I'm still experimenting with the lens and enjoying low-light and natural light results for both video and stills. The shallow depth of field is amazing for individual portraits and a challenge when shooting more than one subject -- you may have to pick who/what you want in sharp focus vs. soft focus. I find myself packing lighter for both video and still shoots in many situations where my other bigger/heavier zoom lenses are superfluous (can't believe I used that ten gallon word).

This lens is amazing, especially if you are on a budget. Beware that it is mostly plastic, but take care of it, and it will last a long time. It takes incredible photos.

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

Canon's cheapest lens. I used it to cover an event. All of the 400 pictures I shot were in sharp focus, with perfect exposures, inspite of using an on-camera flash unit in low light conditions. You can't ask for more. Also, this lens weighs almost nothing, giving the camera excellant balance. This lens is a 1.8, so you can shoot in very low light and it produces a lovely bokeh.

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

Very clear subjects with blurry background by just pointing and shooting.

I'm very happy with the quality of pictures... I was able to take some awesome pictures of my daughter blowing out candles for her birthday in very low light!

a very light and inexpensive lens great for low light conditions.

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

I love this lens. I'm still adjusting to not having a zoom lens but it makes up for it in the beautiful clarity and bokeh
