Score 9.0/10+ This is the lense for you, if you want tack sharp images,very good in low light, and it being a prime lense ease of use, and of cause the price is very good......
- Very little not to like about this lense, perhaps the build quality could be better, but then you would expect to pay a lot more for it...............

Score 8.0/10+ Very low cost lens! Fabulous starting point for a basic portraiture lens. Produces nice soft images and colours at the larger apertures.
- Sometimes the background blur could be nicer. It is a bit slower than other canon lenses but that is more than reflected in the price. I may consider upgrading from this model in the future but it has been a great intro to what can be done with large aperture lenses for me.

Mat, Herne Bay
Score 10.0/10+ Even a beginner can take some great shots with this lens! Its so easy to use and gives great quality shots. I love the fixed apature and focal length as it makes me more creative when setting up a shot.
- Can be a little tricky to track one down to buy!
