 cheap, but cheap November 29, 2008
save your money for the 1.4..
plastic build and really hit or miss on quality.
my friend loves this thing, but i hated it. after selling it to him, i picked up the 1.4 version (i know 3x the price..) and it made a huge difference.
i'm in the "you get what you pay for" camp on this one..
if feels really flimsy, the front of it can pop out easily,and while pics weren't horrible, they simply were not the quality of the 1.4
 Great value November 28, 2008
Great value for this lens, I'd recommend the 50mm 1.4 for anyone shooting sports or action since it will focus faster using USM.
 Great lens for the price! November 27, 2008
This is a great lens for the price. I love it. I use it on my camera as a default lens. In spite of the low price, I've found it to be very structurally sound.
lens November 26, 2008
Fantastic image quality. Little noisy and slow to focus at times. But definitely a great purchase.
Great lens November 24, 2008
Excellent travel/portrait lens on an aps-c sized sensor. Fast, light. Probably not the most durable, but still (even though price has gone up 15 bucks) about the best deal on the internet. 1.8 provides nice BG softness, and on my 40D it seems to have great corner to corner sharpness at most f-stops and I have had no auto-focus issues. Nice color, low CA; for the price, I don't think an EOS could find a better lens. I also shoot with the EF 28-135 IS and the EF 16-35L (though the latter is an intermittent loaner from a very kind friend.)
This is obviously not the EF 1.4 or the EF 1.2, but it's also 1/4 to 1/12 of the price, and much more portable. The only minor "drawback" is that the "hood" supplied by canon is actually a catch all for smaller lens fronts, though they sell it as a dedicated hood, a bit of a price-gouge on that. You can buy a third party hood and get equally good results.
