 Great Lens for the Price! December 1, 2008
I really have enjoyed this lens. It is lighter than the all metal version. It takes very good pictures. I have always loved to take snap shots and this lens helps to make my pictures come to life and really zoom in on the subjects! I would recommend this lens! Great lens for the price.
 A must for any kit December 1, 2008
This lens is a must have for any kit, it is a good lens for the price. If you need a lens to help in low light situations or want a good starter portrait lens, this would be it.
I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because the lens is, for lack of a better word, cheap. Without USM and with a plastic body, it just feels a little less quality, but that's what you get for the price.
The low f-stop is nice and gives you a lot more flexibility that you could get without it, just know that if you buy this lens and like it, you're very likely to purchase an upgrade down the road, so if you want to save some money, you may want to pick up the f/1.4 now :)

A Must-Have November 30, 2008
If you have a just acquired a Canon DSLR and the kit lenses just don't do it for you, DON'T HESITATE TO BUY THIS PIECE OF GLASS! Although this lens is the least expensive produced by Canon, it is worth far more the small price you're likely to buy it for. Although the lens has some negative qualities:
Slow autofocus that requires good light
Awkward manual focusing
Cheap plastic chassis
This lens is still an unbelievable bargain for what you receive. It is fast, great image sharpness, and useful in nearly every application.
 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.
