 You get what you pay for November 23, 2008
I am not 100% happy with this lens. It is cheaply made and does not do a good job of focusing. I used to have an older 50mm f/1.8 and I sold it. I will never sell older lenses again. They are made ten times better than the lenses they are selling today.
This lens does the job for the most part, but I would not recommend it or purchase it again.
 a GREAT lens for the price! November 21, 2008
This is a REALLY fun lens to use! I got it for my Canon Rebel XTi, and have used it constantly since. The lens casing does, of course, feel cheap and when focusing is slightly louder than a normal lens, but the pictures come out crisp and have good color saturation. I recently used this lens to shoot a preschool graduation in a darkened auditorium, and the pictures came out fantastic. I'd definitely reccommend this lens.
A+ lens for the price November 18, 2008
Pro's:
-Great DoF (f/1.8)
-Great bokeh
-Inexpensive
Cons:
-Plastic, unlike the mk1... I've heard it's very easy to break... If you drop it it's a goner
-AF is noisy
-Focusing ring is annoying
Overall:
Overall, I love this lens... It's great, especially for the price. If you can't take perfect care of your lens, save up for the mk1, which is about $300 more, made of metal, and is f/1.4. But if you want a great lens for a cheap price and are willing to take care and just be a bit extra careful, I'd recommend this beauty.
 Surprisingly Sharp Piece of Plastic November 17, 2008
When you feel this lens, it feels like a joke. The construction quality isn't stellar (i.e. come on, it's plastic) but I have been generally impressed with the quality of images it produces. I shoot w/ this on a 5D and it produces fantasticly shallow depth of field, great colors, and surprisingly sharp images. I would recommend getting this lens, if for no other reason than as a backup.
Best deal for the buck November 16, 2008
It's a really good product for this price. It is very light, it is nicely build and you get really nice portraits with this lens. I'm really glad about this investment.
