Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Best buy for the money Comment: I purchased this lens after seeing photos taken by a friend. I have not been dissappointed with the quality. You can't ask for better for the money. Customer Rating: Summary: Best value for money ratio I've seen in a long time. Comment: I purchased this lens along with my Canon Digital Rebel XSi 12.2 MP Digital SLR Camera with EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS Lens (Black) a month or two ago, having completely outgrown the optics and capabilities of my Canon PowerShot A720IS 8MP Digital Camera with 6x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom compact camera. This lens has allowed me to take close pictures of friends at gatherings and parties (naturally indoors and at night, in dim light) without the use of flash, which I detest. They were talking, joking, laughing and generally doing everything except keeping still, and yet in most situations I was able to freeze the moment. Shooting in burst mode ensures that you'll have many similar facial expressions to choose from, either to flatter or mock your friends. :) The large aperture of f/1.8 also provides for a very small depth of field: whereas the person's face is in focus, the background is extremely blurry. Most people, when seeing their pics taken with this lens, absolutely love the effect. I love it too. In short, the value for money of this lens is very high. I recommend it 100%. Customer Rating: Summary: Very good lens for portraits Comment: I bought the 50mm f/1.8 II Canon lens for shooting portraits with my 40D. I must say that I am very satisfied with it as the luminosity of the pictures is incredible, especially when there is few light available. You can use it inside or outside, even without any flash when it is not too dark. It's a great lens for the price paid! Customer Rating: Summary: great 50mm lens, especially for the price. Comment: great lens. very fast. able to get a nice blurred background so the focus is on the subject. nice crisp photos even in lowlight without a flash! Customer Rating: Summary: The best lens to learn with Comment: When I first got into photography, all I had was a Pentax K1000; a 100% manual film SLR with a Sears 50mm f2.8 lens. I loved it. I messed up a lot of shots, and learned from every one. Times have changed a lot, but the thing I love is that a fast 50mm lens will still help you learn so much about photography. From framing your shots well to shutter and aperture settings, you will learn a LOT using this lens. You will learn about depth of field very quickly. You will learn about how much light you need at what aperture settings to properly expose the image... Yes, the lens feels so cheaply built it seems like it must have come out of a Happy Meal. Yes, it's slow and loud to focus. However, it takes a darn good picture. If you have recently bought a digital Rebel, buy this lens and leave it on your camera in lieu of the kit lens for a month of shooting. You will learn so much about photography in that time! If you get serious about photography then you will end up buying lenses that cost much more than your camera did. Stick this cheap lens on your new camera and you will learn so much that you can make better decisions on what expensive lenses to buy. For the price of this lens you have nothing to loose. Enjoy!
