 For the money...I can't complain August 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am new to the DSLR group but I understand the technical babel when it comes to good lenses, I know that there are better lenses out there, without a doubt, but when I got this for around $80 I just cant complain when I look at my pictures. They are very sharp, the color is not perfect but I just post process that anyway. Eventually I will get the more expensive 1.4 lens, but for now this is plenty of lens for my portraits. I would recommend this lens in a heart beat.
Pros:
Good color reproduction
Good picture quality
inexpensive
light
Sharp
Does exactly what you by it for
Cons:
No zoom capability
Build quality is ok
Color could be better
 Simply WoW August 6, 2008
I just receive this lens when I was at work, I put it on my camera and GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Well I had to give myself a break...
This lens is Awesome and for this price WOW.
I love it for portraits the detail and color are just amazing, I was skeptical because of the price thought it was a plastic lens but it looks solid. It does makes lots of noise while focusing but if you have your headphones on you wont hear a thing :)
Now time to go and see how it looks in different subjects - hmmm the city???
good value for the price August 6, 2008
agreed, poor build quality. but why do u need to see the quality when it can shoot decent pictures? not 50 mm f1.4 grade, but hey....its damn cheap. u can use it for a few months and then discard when u upgrade. good for ppl on a tight budget/learners (like me :-(). anywayz, its so fast...never missed an expression on my kid's face...and works very well indoors/poor lighting. but i think i will never buy a thing from adorama again, took a month to get this lens, customer service sucks..they told me they shipped it so now its not their responsibility...had to wait in line for an hour at my local post office to get this lens. emailed them twice after that..no response...not even an apology!! adorama lost 1 customer for life.
Excellent for the price August 6, 2008
I bought this because every single camera site I've been to said to buy it. And for $80 (which was what I'd paid for it), how can I lose. Now, I've had it for a few months, and what can I say except that it's excellent. Razor-shape images, fast-fast f.18 aperture, and on my 1.6x sensor, roughly 80mm shots--which are perfect for portraits. I don't understand why people say it's built crappily, but again, it's $80, and unless you're a photojournalist who abuses her equipment, why worry about its build quality?
A warning, however: 50mm on a cropped-sensor camera, again, will translate into a 80mm focal length, which might be too narrow for most close-up shots outside of portraits. If you want to take any sort of street shot, I'd suggest getting a fast zoom or something like the Tamron 17-50mm.
Canon 50mm Lens f/1.8 August 5, 2008
really good lens. it works really good especially if you want to blur out the background. thats the reason why i got it. Really cheap too but the only thing is its always up close so its a macro kind of lens.
