An excellent prime lens for beginners.
I've been owning this lens for about 3 months now, and I've only good things to say about it. Those people who are giving it a low rating are probably expecting way too much out of it for the price they're paying. Come to think of it - it's priced at around Rs 5.5K and you get a fantastically large (f/1.8) aperture for that money!
The focal length 50mm is also highly practical and I've used it to take pictures of people and landscape with equally pleasing results. The larger aperture can com...

Wonderful lens, good companion to the kit lens
Mixed feelings, a little unlucky with this lens.
I might not be an expert photographer, but definitely not new to using different lenses and alternating between them.
Opened the lens from its box, tried to mount it on my 550d. It was tighter than usual, I mean wouldnt sit right (again red dot on camera should match the red dot on the lens...I know that much). I knew something was not rite. A little more force, a small click sound and then it fit perfectly. Clicked snaps, was perfect ! Tri...

Good lens
I have owned this lens for over a week now. I was in need of:
1) Light weight
2) Fast
3) Cheap/Economical
lens for a wedding shoot. The experience of ordering the lens and getting it in 29 hours is extraordinary. Thanks Flipkart!
The lens meets and beats the criteria that I listed. I have a full frame camera and therefore the selection of lenses is limited and expensive. What I needed was a fast lens that I could use for wedding photography (I do not use flashes), with the limitations in lig...

Excellent Lens. Excellent Packaging by Flipkart's WS Retail.
I already had a Canon EOS 600D with 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 IS Kit lens... This lens was a pleasant surprise to my eyes. Let me rate its good points in comparison to my 18-135:
1. Lightning fast autofocus. Slightly faster than 18-135 kit lens.
2. Very light weight, much lighter than my 18-135, almost half the weight.
3. Smaller sized than 18-135. Almost half of it.
4. Image resolution is better than 18-135's for most focal lengths. I took some pics and they came out very detailed. I was mind-blo...

Great cheap portrait lens
The 50mm/1.8 is a good, cheap lens for portraits. 50mm used to be the normal focal length in the 35mm film days, now it serves as a telephoto-ish option on DSLR bodies. This is a fantastic lens for taking pictures of family, kids, pets. However it is not without its cons
What I like about this lens
- Great sharpness when stopped down
- Great bokeh means lovely portraits
- Large aperture means its a great lens for low light situations
What I don't like
- Poor autofocus in low light. The shal...

A must buy for those with a stock lens
This is a very good lens. It has a really nice mix of features, specifications and price. If you only have the stock lens and have been thinking of a better second lens, this is the perfect starting point. The build quality isn't the best, but unless you are in a warzone, it'll hold. The f/1.8 aperture lets you capture images with a good DOF generally not possible with stock lenses (which max out at f/3.5, that too at 18mm).
So, if you already have a DSLR and feel that the stock lens is a lim...

surprising! no reviews yet for such a wonderful lens.
The cheapest lens in the canon series. at 50mm it is more of a street lens. But why do you need it if you have the 18-55 kit lens? For reasons that this is 1.8 and so quite fast while the kit lens at 50 mm is 5.6!! incredibily slow. The kit lens is not just slow but also quite soft at 55mm. The 50mm is incredibly sharp, quick to focus and can literaly see in the dark. Sharpness alone is enough for you to buy this little thing. Being a prime (fixed focal lengh) lens it also has an advantage, t...

Cheapest possible Canon lens, don't expect the build quality of an 'L' lens
I have been using this lens for about a couple of years and I am not disappointed by it. Frankly, for the price of ~$100, don't expect the build quality of a luxury lens (it's plastic). It's fast with an f-stop of 1.8. Of course, no IS is a shame but it's a typical characteristic of most of the portrait lenses from Canon. It's cheaper than your kit lens and possibly the cheapest Canon lens on the planet. It is beautiful for portraits, especially during low light conditions. I will be soon upg...
