Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II

+ 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...............

+ 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.

+ Easy to use and good value for money

- Build quality.... it's plastic (hence the price).

+ Does what it says on the box

+ 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!

+ Cheap and cheerful, good bokeh, good images in low light.

- Not at all sturdy feeling but for this price, what can you expect.

+ Great fixed focus low cost low light lense for portrait shots etc
