Advantages: Light Simple to operate Great pictures Low aperture (1.8) Cheap! Disadvantages: Wish it was 40mm Now I want the 1.4 lens...

I bought mine from Simply Electronics, and it took a while to get here but ever since it got here, it's been the only lens i've used! I love it, my favourite lens that I own by far. The price is brilliant, I bought it with my birthday money (I'm a teen photographer, so I don't have much money to spend on camera equipment :P)
I was on a work experience placement a few weeks ago and they were who recommended it to me, and I tried out theirs. Absolutely fantastic, I don't regret buying at all :)

The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II is an excellent lightweight general lens to pop in the bag, great for low light level shots and interiors etc and for the price you cannot complain. I wish Canon could do other lenses at a nice inexpensive price :-))
Shop around for the best price available, it can vary quite a bit.

The 50/1.8 must be a slight embarrassment to Canon, they have produced an exceptional lens, esp. when you stop it down to mid ranges (F 4 to F 8) for contrast, sharpness and color saturation. All this for $USD100!!. It is better than the Canon kit lens on your entry level DSLR and produces images with the pleasing isolation of shallow depth of field when shooting wide open that the kit lens can't do. The creative control also includes the short tele effects on the APS-C smaller chips, good but not great bokeh, and near-macro close ups. I recommend you spend the money and re-discover what your camera can really do.

A the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II review, For the price, you won't find a better prime lens for your Camera. I think every Canon SLR/DSLR owner should experience this lens.
