 Great Lens... Bad Copy? November 2, 2008
I love the crispness of this lens, I love how it saves my hide in low light. When it does. I have had my Rebel XTi for almost a year now, and shot almost 5000 images with it. I never once have experienced ERROR 99, till the first day I used this 50mm lens. Second time I went to use it on the shooting assignment - the same thing happened. I would work for a while, and then go into ERR99 freeze, I would have to turn the camera off, then back on to get few more shots, till it happens again. Does not happen when other lenses I own are used. I might update, when I find out more about whets going on...
 Amazing Lens November 2, 2008
This lens is great for indoors, walking around outdoors, portraits, and basically all kinds of photography. If you are looking for a general use lens for an EXTREMELY good price, this is definitely the lens for you.
Canon EF50mm f/1.8 II November 2, 2008
I bought this 50mm lens last Sept. 2008 and I find it just exactly as advertised. It gives me a crisp, clear picture and it is very handy to have when you need a lens for low light. It feel plastic but the construction is properly well done. If you handle it with care I think it will last a long time. It has a plastic mount but as I can see it will last long with proper care. The only down side I see on this product is sometimes, it takes longer for Auto focus to lock and it is a little bit noisy but for me as an amateure, it doesn't bother me.
In General, I am happy with this lens in comparison with its price, it can give you a very clear,crisp Photo that can compare to the more expensive canon lens. I would recommend this lens to anyone as per my experience.
Great Quality at a very low price October 30, 2008
This lens is a great buy. It has a very sharp focus even at a distance. The low aperture setting really lets you isolate your subject from it's surroundings, and the quick shutter speed stops time. It is the best lens you will find for the price, and it's a must have for anyone who wants to get into photography.
Captures great color and tac sharp October 29, 2008

I bought this lens for my XTi. I usually take landscape scenics and abstract photos. I also have the kit lens 18-55 and a Tamron 28-200. This little lens surpasses both in color saturation and sharpness. It's also very fast meaning that you can take photos indoors without a flash. Natural light photography usually adds more depth and feeling to a photo; this lens is perfect for that.
Since buying this lens and seeing the difference between the Tamron and kit lens I am very unsatisfied with both. It has caused me to have a very discerning eye when judging sharpness and color saturation. I have ordered a 17-40L lens now because I know the difference between "good enough" and "outstanding". Trust me this lens is sharp and color rendering is awesome.
Some bad points, the focus is a little on the slow side but not much of a bother when taking landscapes. Also the lens has a cheap feel to it, but once again the cheap feel is forgotten when looking through the pictures it captures.
Good points, it has a wide open f 1.8 with great bokeh (foreground/background blurring). Again color and sharpness are awesome. It's also small and lightweight and inexpensive.
If you get one you will likely love it!
