Best lens for the price

I purchases this lens shortly after buying the Rebel XT. I have the kit lens which is adequate for most of the time but lacking indoors in low light situations (like candlelight, museums where flash photography is prohibited or other subdued lighting conditions) These are situations are where this lens can perform. The lack of zoom is not an issue in these circumstances.

For The Price Everyone Ought To Own One!

Even though I have the more expensive 50mm 1.4, I can't deny that the 1.8 has the ability to produce high-quality results.
I have taken as many "satisfying" pictures with this lens as I have with the 1.4! I mean that literally! It has rendered many sharp and colorful pictures!

Also, I know that the build quality has been condemned universally, but for some reason I don't think the build-quality is all "that" bad.

Obviously, for the price, anyone who has a EOS 20D or Rebel XT (both of which I own) or a contemporary Canon 35mm film camera should own one of these!

I love and recommend this lens!

Must-have lens for any photographer!

Just wanted to share my elation over this lens! I bought a Canon Digital Rebel (300d) with kit lens and about 3 months ago looked to expanding my capabilites with some different lenses. I knew that I defintiely wanted a portrait lens, and as I have done a lot of convert photography, it needed to work well in low light situations (like clubs and bars).

This lens was probably one of the best investments I have ever made in my photography. Since purchasing it a few months ago I found that I use it far more often than the kit lens, and I am amazed at how much the quality and clarity of my shots has improved. The lens is great for low-light, I had even used it for outdoor night photography (with flash) and gotten great results. Its great for use in low-light daytime situations too, since this lens allows you to forego the flash. And at $70, it is one of the the cheapest lenses you can buy. This lens has been great- I have used it fairly heavily for a few months now and have no complaints about build quality. I also considered the more expensive 50mm 1.4 ($250) but I have been so happy with this lens that I'm glad I saved my money!
