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. - Focal length: 50mm

 Awesome Lens October 4, 2008
I read somewhere that the nickname for this lens is the "Plastic Fantastic" and it surely is!
I wanted a lens that was faster than my 2.8mm but didn't want to spend over $600. A friend recommended this one to me, and it was less than a $100. Somewhat skeptical, I read tons of reviews to see what others who own it have to say about it's performance and don't think I saw a bad review on it.
Takes great photos, and you won't find a lens this fast for the price.... Highly recommended if you want to save some money and still have an excellent lens.
Amazing! October 3, 2008

this lens is amazing for the price. ive had it for a little over a month now and havent had any problems with it before. however, be warned at f/1.8 the pictures are a little soft. so if you're looking for extremely clear crisp pictures you should bump it up to 3.2 or so. other than that i have absolutely no complaints about this lens.
Great lens, Great Price! October 2, 2008
I recieved my new lens two days ago and I haven't been able to stop taking pictures! Really does what I want!!

Great buy. I was glad to see that it has an a/f mode too. Great price and good quality for what I need it for.
Price & Performance September 30, 2008
I wanted a fixed focal length lens for my Rebel since I heard they work better than some of the lenses that come with the cameras. For the price this cannot be beat, great shots and decent overall performance. Since it a fixed length lens it is limited in what it can be used for, so if you were shooting a family gathering this is not one you would want, unless you just want to shoot more potrait type images. Small and light enough though to carry with a general lens for the times you are looking for what a lens with this focal length is meant to do.
