Digital camera reviews of Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard AutoFocus Lens - Gray Market

Digital camera Review: Broken, after 5 months.
Summary: 3 Stars

I loved this lens. People are right. It takes beautiful pictures. BUT!!! It is made of very cheap materials. I treated this lens with care and today it is broken! The front lens piece fell off and inside I discovered that a small plastic flange had broken off. KAPUT! I don't recommend wasting money on this landfill fodder.

Digital camera Review: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8
Summary: 5 Stars

The purchase of this lens was the culmination of several months of reading reviews and agonizing over cost vs. quality. It seemed like I should buy the higer priced f/1.4 but, as I wanted to upgrade my standard zoom lens too, I could not justify the expense. To my delight, this is an excellent lens. I've used it for some portrait work and at a recent wedding. It really turns out some beautiful pictures. Although I'm not a professional, I do work locally and the addition of this lens to my kit is a significant upgrade. I highly recommend this lens for its quality as well as the price.

Digital camera Review: Cheap and Fragile
Summary: 3 Stars

For the price, this is a great lens. Fast focus, and the 1.8 is really amazing for this price. Great image quality, giving a great blur on the back. Works great specially on dark places, and low light conditions!

It's REALLY FRAGILE though. I always baby my lenses, but this one out of a sudden broke. The ring deattached from the barrel. It didn't fall or anything, it just thorn appart while focusing. It has not a scratch on it, just committed suicide. Actually, if you look at it (and I had an inside look, since mine was all the way open) it's simply cheap plastic. I was really disapointed, but then faced as a signal to upgrade to a 1.4.

I highly reccomend this lens, but don't expect using it for long.


Digital camera Review: Cheap and Love It!
Summary: 5 Stars

This lens is so cheap but it's a great introductory prime lens. I bought this with my Canon XTi and haven't taken it off! I love how beautiful the images are that come from this lens. When I have used my zoom (which was only maybe once when I first got the camera) I have been disappointed with the images in comparison to the prime lens. I just bought the Canon 28mm 1.4 and can't wait to get it. Go Prime!!!

Digital camera Review: Disposable
Summary: 4 Stars

But it, use it, throw it away when it breaks. It makes great images and has great glass for the price. One of my favorite lenses, most of which are L Series...
