(130g). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens. Amazon.com Product Description: Amazon.com Product Description Lightweight and affordable, the Canon EF 50mm lens--which offers a fast f/1.8 aperture--is an excellent lens for people who prefer a fixed focal length. Canon's lightest EF lens at a mere 4.6 ounces, the lens boasts a traditional Gauss-type optical design that delivers a sharp performance even when wide open. As a result, the lens provides an image that's extremely close to how your eye perceives a subject, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field. In addition, the lens focuses as close as 18 inches, helping you take extreme close-ups. Finally, the lens offers an excellent color balance. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty.

This was the first lens I bought for my Canon Rebel XSI and I was just amazed! I spent hours at the park taking pictures and they all turned out fantastic. A great overall lens, well worth the price. Rating: - Excellent lens for the price This lens offers excellent quality portrait pictures at a very affordable price. Highly recomend this lens for any amateur or professional photographers. Rating: - The best Canon value for that perfect shot... but step up quality control Canon! This really is the best Canon value for that perfect shot! My only down side is that there are some soft qualities about it and I still can't find a flawless lens. After returning two others... I still see imperfections in the glass. I think Canon needs to step up their quality control on this one. This doesn't seem to affect my photos, but it's not true prime glass quality. Otherwise, when it spot on... this one makes you smile. Totally worth the cost... My only down side now is that I want the 50mm 1.4! :) Rating: - Nifty fifty - 50mm review Amazing pictures using this lens. Autofocus works great. Very sharp pictures. Works great for portraits. A lens every dSLR camera should have. Rating: - Value for the money I hate to rain on the parade of so many purchasers, but this lens is good, but not great. The build quality is awful and by that I mean... you can expect to buy multiple copies of this lens if you are not careful. This is probably the best value lens in Canons lineup, but it is by no means a 4.5/ 5 lens, in my opinion. If you want to give Canon credit for building a nice lens for about 100 bucks, then fine, but this doesn't rank up there among the prime (L) lenses. Good but not great. Personally, id buy a lens with a bit better build quality instead, but if you are on a budget then you certainly cant go wrong with this lens. It should be in everyones lens bag, but not because it is the best-est most awesome-est lens out there...just because it takes adequate shots for a very cheap price. Just my thought. see more
