 My solution February 24, 2006
11 out of 16 found this review helpful
Before I purchased this lens I had a problem. All I had was the lens that comes with the digital rebel. While it is nice in many ways but I noticed it was horrible for indoors photos with lower light levels, and I can't stand how photos look with flash.
So I decided I could buy a massive new flash attachment which would probably solve the problem but I didn't want a big new device attached to my camera.
My other solution was to look for a len with a lower f/stop. I didn't want something cheap and plastic but I also didn't want to spend $1000 or more.
This lens was the best answer. I can now take low light shots indoors and outdoors very quick and without a tripod. Plus the bokeh or background blur looks great. You really have to see it to understand, the difference between the default lens and this one is tremendous.
The only sacrifice I had to make is the fixed 50mm zoom. For the price it would seem the lens should be variable length. The only other lens I could find that goes as low on the f/stop was somewhere around $1500. I'd rather buy a newer camera than shell out that kind of money.
Anyways this lens kicks ass, even with the fixed zoom, I primarily only use this lens. If you are in the same situation I was I would recommend this lens.
 Canon 50mm f1.4 Review February 23, 2006

I needed a good indoor low light lens. This was a great choice the speed is great. I wish my telephoto had this speed. This lens is must have for indoor or low light.
1st Lens Purchase after "kit" lense...No Regrets. February 8, 2006
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I do alot of "creative" work as a hobby, and this lense really allows the creative juices to flow! The stock kit lens that came with my camera was extremely limiting, I just didn't know it. I do alot of low light and/or close up photography and even though this is a "portrait" lense, I find that it really performs well. It costs a little more, but it is definitely worth it.
Absorbs light like a sponge! January 8, 2006

Say goodbye to your flash! This lense absorbs light for great pictures. I can take photos without a flash that I would never have attempted with the stock 18-55mm lense. As an amateur, I read the above reviews and purchased this lense. If you do the same, you wont be sorry. Please see the photos I posted and decide for yourself.

Had one for about a year now and most of my best shots are with this lens. Using with a 10D. Great for capturing indoor people shots without a flash. Best price/performance of any lens I own.
