Pros: Price, excellent resolution starting from f.2,8 but usable at TA, size / weight

Cons: Blurry absolutely ugly, but fantastic for those who are used to zooming; huge flare and collapse of contrast to backlight or when light sources frame, all-plastic construction, lack of depth of field, prehistoric autofocus

Opinion: Despite all the faults is a view that I use with pleasure and of which I do not regret the purchase (at the time analog), now there is no more reason to buy it and except if you find it at the price at best price is better orient the purchase towards the new STM version that has been improved in: boken, the AF and the flare for a price that remains super-économico.rnPS: I use it in FULL FRAMErn

Pros: 2.8 sharpness, pleasing blur, pre-historic but effective focus, incredible price quality

Cons: Sharpness below 2.8, almost unusable at 1.8 due to poor sharpness and large vignetting, really slow focus.

Opinion: My first serious lens and true guilty of my passion for photography. Compared to the 18-55 in kit it seems to have another camera. Great as everything to do but vote for portraiture. It does not excel at anything but is really a great lens at a price from a dinner at the restaurant. Purchased 4 or 5 years ago and never again sold back always useful.

Pros: Sharpness, Price

Cons: Materials, Defocused

Opinion: I have had this lens for years and used on entry-level body (1000d), semipro (40d) and FF (5d2), never disappointed. It certainly has its negative aspects, it's a plastic after all, and blur it's a little tough, but I'm challenging to find an optic that has yielded this little bit to the priceless price it's sold. Sharpness is devastating, af is slow and noisy, but it works and is accurate. It is mounted on any sensor. I'm not a 50mm lover on FF, so I sold it but I consider it a must-have for those who are developing passion for photography without spending capital and those on apsc are interested in portraiture.rnrnNote: despite plastic ( Honestly they could have built at least the metal attack), like all the objects, if it's a tough one. The use of manual fire is quite unmanageable for the unhappy focus ring position. RnrnConclusion: you can find many defects in the outside, atThe feeling of fragility that the materials give, the performance of the AF .. but also taken together, the defects are swept away by the incredible optical yield, compactness, weight and especially glass price of undoubted quality.

Pros: Price, weight, opening

Cons: Sharpness under 2.2, autofocus, materials

Opinion: Let's face it: the first two defects, we can also expect them spending less than 100 euro for a lente.rnE the third is clearly also the son of the price, but it is also the reason one of the strengths, the weight absolutely irrisorio.rnConclusione ? I have voted 10, because if we put it all together we want to bet that this affarino (we assemble well on FF) is one of the lenses that if you bought it will remain forever in the kit?

Pros: Weight, cost and sharpness above f2.8

Cons: A bit 'plasticky and sharpness under f2.8

Opinion: Great optics for quality / price was my first real canon optical and made us all. After having studied it in depth I can say that the "limit" of sharpness personally is f2.8.rnA this openness is impressive sharpness and blur remains very buono.rnNaturalmente if you want more blur you can always go down to f1.8 renouncing a bit 'of sharpness.

Pros: Price, clarity, weight.

Cons: Autofocus slow and noisy. Blurred. quality construction

Opinion: The strengths and weaknesses are now quite popular and I think there is little to discuss what has already been expressed in other reviews. I just wanted to add that you can use more than you might think. We must get to know him because initially I also would have given a totally negative opinion as many users. The truth is that this goal does not forgive mistakes the photographer and then forces you to learn, especially for those coming from from kit lenses. A f4 already give the best of themselves. A Ta must be very careful with the focus. Definitely worth the price and it is good optics from portrait.

Pros: Price, brightness, made a good night sleep

Cons: Making slow fire and sometimes a bit 'inaccurate, built only in plastic, loud

Opinion: And 'ideal to approach the world of fixed, it costs little and let good use to experience the apertures. Used with satisfaction on APS-C (80mm equivalent) for portraits, became great on FF, I can not take it off. Sometimes some shots slightly out TA fire does not regret a focus faster, but just be careful as you do with all fixed diaphragms so open and everything is resolved. Focus a bit 'noisy but given the price you can not complain. good quality already f2.2, I do not mind even to 1.8 provided you do not look for the perfect clarity and the absence of defects.

Pros: Weight, price, brightness

Cons: a bit 'plasticky ....

Opinion: Bought at MediaWorld for less than 100 € I can not commend her for the quality / price !!! TA to play taste, from f2.8 you will be surprised and amazed by those who are able to return !! sharpness on the front, as all optical, 3 stops in future from its best !! It is an optical light (about 130g) very light indeed, is just fine for everyday use like everything to do !! some complain of hexagon bokeh, I do not mind; for those not satisfied touches spend 3 times the price for his sister from f1.4 !! Not using the AF (generally) on MF touches us a bit 'the exaggerated mano..nulla !! Only downside is plasticky but at this price you can not ask for more !! I offer my congratulations to Canon for scoring a perspective like that at a very low cost. straconsigliata !!

Pros: positive judgment on the optical component.

Cons: Mechanics, electronics, auto focus and materials from pre-war absolutely.

Opinion: I felt a feeling like this for about twenty years, with the very first Tamron and Sigma to focus that we had to think about a quarter of ora.Plasticaccia that deteriorates the sguardo.rnI glass instead are of good quality, and the price is interesting, but you can expect great satisfaction ........ rnMi would limit to a neutral judgment ...

Pros: Money, from f2 8 onwards is an amazing optical

Cons: F 1.8 to 8 f2 and quite soft as detail

Opinion: I bought 60 Euro used but you want more, even though it is a bit plasticone, and does a bit of noise at f, it seems to me that much detail from f2.8 on, is a target for those who want to pay less money to make ritrarri and beyond, is to avere.rnHo also tried to make the macro and it seems to me that if the cables discreetly with his relationship 1.5

Cons: plasticotto, crisp 2.8, af noisy and sometimes inaccurate

Opinion: Great lens to start, one of the best home-canon in relation to the quality / price ratio. I recommend it as a first fixed for those who are beginners, I used the 10 months before moving to the big brother f1.4. L f is noisy and sometimes inaccurate, up to 2.8 is a little 'soft.

Pros: Clarity, openness, cost, fuzzy, and f.

Cons: F noise, construction

Opinion: I think it's the lens with the best value for money in circulation, very crisp, with excellent color rendition. Slightly long on APSC (80mm) but for portraits it is excellent, very nice even bokeh. Of course the construction is cheap, it's all plastic, but I can not see the problem, they are taking pictures, not touching the lens material .. The only negative note is the f which is noisy, sometimes a little uncertain but nothing tragic. The riacquisterei thousand times, with the price he has. It would take more lenses so. Among other things the attack ef then remains when upgrading to ff. I think anyone who complains about this lack of clarity has proved an exemplary defective, unless it has compared with lenses that cost 20 times as much, and the comparison can not remain.

Pros: Mah ....

Cons: The list is too long

Opinion: I can not unfortunately join the chorus of plausibles almost unanimously: I have never been able to use this goal, which I found to be attached to the first reflex in kindly (and less badly), getting decent shots; I have come to prefer an old Helios, which is, in my opinion, the most powerful thing that is all to say. My sample is clamorously lacking in clarity at least until af / 4; then use it to use it; while vignetting is even ridiculous. The blur is not the beauty everyone says and the hexagonal bokeh denies the poor design quality. The autofocus, in addition to making the noise of changing an old truck that "scratches", never puts it in the fire where I want; the manual ring ring is ridiculously small to the point of being unusable. Finally, perhaps because it is too light, there is no way to crawl firm stills, even with times far greater than the security level. rnInsomma, I'm probably not capable of either maybe it's mine which is%3B defective, but for me, even if it costs very little, it's a sham

Pros: Cost and focus.

Cons: Focus inaccurate.

Opinion: I bought this lens driven by positive comments than beds around. rnBellissimo focus lens and a small price to be f1.8. I tried it on a Canon 50D and after I mastered with photography, I started to find flaws. rnrnMessa focus inaccurate to TA, I did several tests on a tripod, remote control, and inanimate object at the same distance. Each photo was changing the point of focus of a few millimeters. Can not then make a portrait f1.8 until after several attempts. rnrnL'ho I resold shortly after. A few months later I wanted to try another, to rule out any defects of my goal, but I found the same problem, even in shady conditions, the focus is very inaccurate.

Pros: Cost is 1.8, sharpness and blur

Cons: Focus noisy

Opinion: The use of 7d which is equivalent to a 80 mm, which is perfect for portraits. The blur is fabulous and the sharpness equally, but the focus is very noisy. Personally plastic is not a problem, since the price / yield recommend it as a lens fixed to all who refuse to spend figures esagerate..preso on Amazon with hood to 116 €. Along with the Tamron 70-300 stabilized, it is the lens I use most.

Pros: Price, weight, focus, brightness

Cons: Building

Opinion: Nothing to reproach to this objective. The only drawback is the construction. The bayonet coupling could be done in metal. When you make the first photos in 1.8 you realize you are holding a nice lens. It is usually the first piece that you buy. Blur well is very bright. To those who say it is noisy if you want to answer that obbettivo silent nun must spend 370 Euros and not 90. Sometimes it does not hook the subject well, but only in low light conditions. They learn a lot of things and is the best way of discovering the world of fixed focal.

Pros: Price

Cons: None

Opinion: We start from a premise: who enters the world of photography for the first time has no need to spend € 2,000 for a lens professionale.rnChi this critical objective for its shortcomings (I'm about to list), is giving a wrong judgment and does not take into account the use to which it is intended this obiettivo.rnAllora, the build quality is poor, obviously this is plasticaccia, and the ring of focus is small so that I move with the focus not polpastrello.rnLa it is fast, I noticed a remarkable AC.rnParliamo the quality of the picture instead. It is not egregious, as you would expect from a fixed focus. However I did a comparison test with the Canon EF-S 18-135 f3.5-5.6 IS STM (zoom mediocre value of 300 €) and with 18-55 and 55-200 Nikon (the ones that were provided in KIT with d5100) that are also slow mediocri.rnIl fifty quietly holds the comparison with these lenses and, indeed, it seems to me that in some cases gives file migliori.rnIo I bought it used to only 5€ 0 and I am very satisfied. It 'was my first fixed focal length and taught me to look for the right shot and concentrate on composition rather than just stand there in the ring beating the zoom.rnE' a lens that makes the school and must be purchased for educational purposes and believe me, it is one of the few cases in which the object value is greater than its prezzo.rnE 'minimal investment that will allow you to gain experience that will come in handy when you are ready to buy the lenses professionali.rnOvviamente as mentioned above is a lens for educational purposes, not professional, but if you manage to find the right elements in a photo (light, composition, subject) and if you can manage the depth of field and the focus with this 50mm, you can take home good shots that can stand comparison with any other beautiful pictures.

Pros: Sharpness - cost - weight - light - dimensions

Cons: Build quality - noise and speed af - soft to TA

Opinion: The first thing that comes to mind when thinking of this lens is the ability to provide excellent file that dwarfs the zoom L-series at a lower price to a hundred euro. And 'that's the reason why you buy. Low financial commitment and high yield. All this if you are willing to live with the noisy autofocus and a speed of focus good for portraits. Build quality and robustness are the worst Canon offers. The high optical performance as I said is from 2.8, excellent f4 f 5.6, while 1.8 to 2.5 is good. rnHo compared with 50 1.8 40 2.8, although aware that they are two different focal enough given that 40 is closer to 35, the winner being equal framing and diaphragm, is 40.

Pros: price - used on FF

Cons: sharpness construction

Opinion: Behaves decently / best of FF do not recommend it on aps-c. impossible to shoot with aps-c under 2.5 and 2.8 is sharp as the Tamron 17 50 Smooth 50mm that is a zoom. Instead of FF 1.8 also it can be used. At the price I can not say that I am recovers waste of money however I would take it just to FF. The move almost mandatory I saw: 50 1.8 - 2.8 40 - 50 1.4 so I can only recommend to immediately take the canon 50 1.4 used to 250eu so you avoid waste time.

Pros: Sharpness, brightness, value for the price only

Cons: to 1.8 does not make it to the maximum ... but ....

Opinion: I got used to 70 € (but almost like new) and I am absolutely satisfied, for clarity I would say it has few rivals, as well as in detail (in one click you can distinguish even the dust particles of the photographed! ). Go against on the construction because it is true that it is all plastic, but if you use it with care, which reserves any other lens that is all plastic is irrelevant (and in any case you can not just blame the canon construction would be ungrateful:-)

Pros: Price - Sharpness - Brightness - Blur / Bokeh - Weight

Cons: Fire ring - Quality Constructive - Focus Noisy EA Times Imprecise

Opinion: I own the fifty from almost 1 year, initially used on 1000D and currently on 60D I must say that I brought home many beautiful shots, most of the shots for use in "study" and "lightbox" is my favorite because small and lightweight compact, with the best from the diaphragms from f2.8 up, but I also pretty good shots at f1.8, the bokeh is something wonderful, especially TA, the focus ring is a bit too vague, sometimes I struggle a lot in liveview with zoom x10 to focuse, at the slightest movement happens that moves even only half a millimeter making you lose precisely the focus on the subject while in autofocus with liveview behaves very well, with the viewfinder sometimes errs, however, in Overall I can not complain since the price, for those who want to use it as an optical study or even novices in search of new inspiration recommend it with my eyes closed!

Pros: Price, weight, Opening

Cons: Built entirely in plastic (including the attack), AF Very noisy (not USM), Fragility

Opinion: Aquistai this lens about two months after my first camera. The first impression is of an optical created just to be created .. but leaving out the construction and materials proved formidable perspective (even though we are talking about a f1.8). The sharpness becomes good since f2.5 /f2.8 maintaining a very good bokeh. Well what about the use in many situations both low light and in portraiture. Definitely a perspective that must not fail in a kit also saw the very low price. Indispensable! : D

Pros: Sharpness, brightness, aperture, blurry, price

Cons: sharpens only to from 2.8 onwards, very slow focus that scrapes the eardrums, materials too plastic

Opinion: I was just over 19 years old and wanted to try the 50mm for the first time on APS-C, at the time I dreamed of having a full frame and I was taking my first real steps in this wonderful path... from the beginning I fell in love with the great openings and this lens perhaps marked the history of the fixed canon cheap but quality, leaving out all the defects of slowness, noise, really kinder egg plastics and a sharpness of the lenses visible only from 2.8 onwards (but which could also vary according to the machine body) I began to take many photographs without ever stopping , so much so that I would have believed that I would never want to leave the 50 in the future... (so it wasn't) but I owe a lot to this little but great little gem now vintage... currently I have the STM version, better practically in everything but I will hardly forget the experiences lived with the first fifty, to date if you have a very limited budget and still want to experiment with a fixed optics they give it to you, do not miss it !

Pros: optical quality, price

Cons: construction, boken

Opinion: To be or to have? The appearance is not the most inviting: plastic even the bayonet, no window or distance ladder, ring focus almost nonexistent. Yet the numbers do not lie: Aperture more yield achieves peak MTF rivals the samples of the specialty. And without any inferiority complex - from 2.8 onwards - even with his older brother F1.4. Price to pay for so much exuberance is a boken a bit 'too nervous and structured. But just think about this: a few years ago the lens kit with the entry level SLR film was this, and in this regard I highlight a detail which I find enlightening: manuals Canon still show a picture of a chessboard with a ' only pawn in focus, to illustrate the possibility of reducing the depth of field in the aperture priority. Well, with the zoom kit today in this operation is simply impossible. This would be enough to induce a dotarsene, also saw the paltry sum compared to the great optical quality.

Cons: plasticotto, autofocus inaccurate and noisy

Opinion: I think the 50mm 1.8 is the best quality / price ratio of the goals canon. It 'a plasticotto and the autofocus is noisy as hell, seems to go diesel. (On the other hand has been in production for more than 20 years). But besides these two flaws, absolutely surmountable, is a lens with emotions and that really changes the way you do photography. I think that is a must for those who are beginners. What little I learned I owe to 50ino. Bought in 2011 and sold six or seven months ago to almost the same purchase price.

Opinion: Purchased a few weeks. Great for portraits, but I think I will use it more and more for other types of shooting that do not need telephoto or macro. Cartoon a bit ', it is true, and fuzzy is not the best, but as the first 50mm to learn (and I have so much need) I think it's more than decent.

Opinion: To be used properly there are more cons that pros, but given the price and using it knowing its limitations it reveals a beautiful ottica.rnA f1.8 is very soft and the focus becomes inaccurate.

Pros: Quality / Price incredible! (Maybe there were others), lightness, f / 1.8, bokeh, sharpness super f / 3 and up ..

Cons: Materials, nut MF, AF slow.

Opinion: I received this in gift from my girlfriend years ago (when I still had my first SLR, the 1000D). It was my first drive, a very welcome gift, through which I discovered targets bright. The specimen had received AF defective, the next day I went with my girlfriend to the store and they replaced me with another (I still) perfect! rnSento many complain of AF inaccurate. I can say that my AF has a slow (but I do not give anything because I use it for sport but for portraits), that the mode MF is uncomfortable (but who uses it in MF?), But absolutely can not be said that mistakes AF! rnMi really like the kind of focus that has hard and nervous, you can achieve great effects, especially on FF .. Where the lens is reborn than before on APSC. Stopping down a little you can get bokeh effects pentagonal (thanks to the diaphragm blades to 5), while opening it for portraits you get amazing results. If you need a lens super crisp stopping down to f / 3 up becomes a blade. rnih conclusionquality / price I think is even cheaper by 50 f / 1.4, as this it is around € 100 and € 300 on the other. To me what f / 1.4 does not return a quality 3 times higher to justify the price increase.

Pros: Lightness, sharpness, quality / price ratio

Cons: Poor construction and plasticky, focus, slow, noisy and uncomfortable in MF

Opinion: I own this lens for years and I've used it many times, always on APS-C.rnSono was pleasantly surprised by the overall image quality when compared to the nominal price of the lens: closing slightly (even one third stop increments), the sharpness becomes good and makes the lens THE choice for the neophyte who does not want to spend a fortune for a standard portrait lens but do not want to give up qualità.rnPer regarding the shades, especially the passages and the blurred, cinquantino not excel of course, but if you know how to photograph can also give satisfaction: in particular, the bokeh is rather "hard", certainly less pleasant than that of his brothers maggiori.rnrnCredo is clear, however, that the construction is really poor (although I've seen worse) and I should not wonder if it were composed of 100% plastic (except the leads / contacts), also of poor quality. In addition, the autofocus is very noisy, slow and imprecise; also focus manually is not that great, youI'm the collar is small and appears to be floating in the vuoto.rnA my humble opinion, however, that the building may not necessarily be a counter, because if I was at an event in which a small body in most emergency would not hurt, surely would take me with the 450D with the grafted cinquantino: all plastic without much concern for the value of the equipment, but good results insured in case of bisogno.rnQuesto is exactly what happened to me during an event did not even seem to have him on the shoulder, but with the big lens mounted on the body, when I was presented a portrait as possible, that's the plasticky saved my photography, which was ottima.rnInfine, I think any photographer with a little experience you dissociate from some " reviews "of this lens, written by ignorant people who not only centrate as the cabbage with photography, but they do not know at all what it should be to review.

Opinion: I align to the previous reviews, for what it costs is fine but it is not always leave a lens attached to the SLR. For me, however, the value for money is good unless you think to exploit only at RT. Closing one two stops in fact, the overall quality increases, you can get excellent portraits, the focus is good in my opinion and keeping higher speeds (less time) increases detail and nitidezza.rn * With the 70d I noticed, which I had not seen instead with the 600d, which in 1.8 you can get great pictures while keeping times of less than 1/250.

Pros: Price, focus, brightness

Cons: Plasticky, AF loupe, noisy and not always accurate

Opinion: What can I say, for the price it costs is really super! It 's like a race against the Veyron at the edge of a GT-R, as crazy at a cost by extremely small compared to the prices of the more famous. The blurred to 1.8 can be really impressive and you can untangle better in low light situations. The biggest flaws are that the AF is not always fast and then it is quite noisy, it seems a train during a video shoot! Then the fixed 50mm is not always an optimal length, and therefore perfect for portraits but not a whole do. In any case, I consider it very affordable and unbeatable given the price. Preferable by far to the 1.4 for the price at which you can find it used. So if you like portraits, fuzzy crisp, economy and experimentation, buy it! If you want to make the grand canyon or photographing lions during a hunt, maybe you Discovery Channel! ;)

Blurred mediocre, unpretentious. Against the most important for me is the ring of MAF very thin, with which it is virtually impossible to focus on as you would like and this pushes you to use autofocus which unfortunately is not the plasticky construction migliori.rnSulla you can pass, on the other hand at this price what can you expect?

Pros: Brightness, price, lightness, sharpness.

Cons: Plasticky, small-diameter, slow and noisy AF, lens hood (optional) impractical.

Opinion: I own it for a few years and I have always used on the 350D. Compared to the 18-55 kit results were always the best in terms of quality of the images! Let's say that negative criticism, considering the price, did not make much sense ... I mean, who buys it knows that it has made a purchase of just over € 100 and all the cons, which I also expressed in the judgment, it is inevitable that we are! Not long ago I made the jump to FF with the 5D Mark III and although at first I "ashamed" to mount it on the new camera body, I must say that the photos do not disappoint me at all! At full aperture are pretty sharp, perhaps the blurriness is not beautiful to look at, but overall there is a certain quality! It 'very light, almost not perceived to be mounted on the machine, but often the autofocus does tantrums (especially in low light) and is also noisy! Also possess the original lens hood which I find impractical as it has been conceived in practice is screwed ring and the latter engages the lens hood remainsfree to rotate as you want! Oh, I also noticed that decreasing the exposure time starts vignettare a bit ', which in APS-C does not happen to me! For the rest, I think that anyone who already owns it does well to keep it, but I do not recommend buying ... if you have the chance to spend a little 'more is perhaps the best f / 1.4!

Cons: purple fringing

Opinion: There are many things you could say about this goal. I pissed on APSC and I am fine. Up to F2.2 I think it is a little soft, then starts to improve a lot to give its maximum around f8, but I think it is already at 2.8 and 4 utilizzabilissimo great. The AF motor is not a lightning, but for a non-professional use I consider acceptable, is not very precise, particularly TA tends to have some indecision. The bezel for the focus instead is inconvenient to use because very thin. Chromatic aberrations are not lacking and has an annoying PF. But for that you have to pay € 80 to get one used I consider it a must-have that is always handy.

Opinion: For the price it's a great goal, but it has many obvious limitations ... On FF has many flaws and little sharpness at the edges, on aps-c is a 8Omm and then becomes a specific use. I was undecided whether to take the 40mm f/2.8 for APS-C was more handyman, 140 € (double this). Personally I was looking for a bright lens that would generate bokeh in quantity while the 40mm had a nicer bokeh (having more blades), but in less quantity.

Cons: construction comparable to that of a kinder egg, is easily disallineano lenses.

Opinion: I have to apologize to mom Canon, I bought this light used .. and who I sold it apparently has not treated very carefully ... I was negatively impressed by the lack of clarity .. (due to a misalignment of the lens ..) brought into care and placed with "little" ... said this: I love photographing at RT for the blurriness ... it works perfectly well already, but turning a bit 'the diaphragm significantly improves .. . for what it costs is an optical that it must not have an impression of great reliability precisely because of the materials of construction, but you should not, and can not be, from the look, is an optical "with balls "that often pulls off the hook ...

Pros: Lightweight, cost, portability, value for money.

Cons: Focus is not USM, is all plasticky!

Opinion: I got it long ago for the very low cost and the desire to have a fixed light. Of Aps-c I never liked; became a 80mm equivalent of 450D and I did not like very much as focal ..... Every now and then plus the focus was a little ballerina and often resorted to manual focus, the focus instead was good as well as the sharpness but, as I have said, does not thrill me. Things have changed with the move to FF, the blur that is able to offer the entire opening is wonderful and great sharpness! The focal length of 50mm effective then told me all his potential, conquistandomi right now ..... even the MAF has improved, becoming perfect. Result: I wanted to sell it and now I keep it tight ...... it costs very little and FF makes it to the fullest! Remains a lens to try to realize what it means to have a fixed light in his hands. Good ..... and if you'll use it on FF does not tear off more, it is light and unobtrusive, perfect for portraits ambientati without being too obvious.

Pros: Brightness - f/1.8 - price

Cons: AF slow and inaccurate - Unclear - shoddy construction - manual focus ring small and uncomfortable

Opinion: I read many reviews before buying this lens and I was not sure I could meet a fixed focal length, a few decent shot I took him home but nothing extraordinary, very often 'slow and noisy AF trap me from the moment right and more often I saw myself forced to make a manual focus ring with a small and uncomfortable to use. I do not know if mine was particularly bad but except for the brightness and sharpness of focus was really minima.Ora I sold it and I went back I'd wait for something better

Pros: Quality / price ratio, brightness, sharpness and lightness f/2.5

Cons: Slow autofocus

Opinion: Due to the price, the lens offers a lot. Sharp from f/2.5 onwards. Lightweight and very practical despite the ring of focus is really minimal. Great for pictures in low light and for portraits. A large number of equal length exceeding zoom with high price. Consigiatissimo to have in your backpack as a standard lens.

Pros: Price, sharpness, brightness', lightness

Cons: Very slow AF in low light

Opinion: I used the 18-55 kit and then coming 'he, his majesty' the fifty. What, in times of crisis with 100 euros you take home a prof. of ritrattisca and begin to discover um world of bokeh, night, street, Aperture Priority AE, depth 'of field, composition .... All beginners like me the photograph should start here and only after deciding which professional optic buy, however, because it is an optical amateur expresses its potential 'to f 2.8 onwards. I can only recommend it.

Pros: Bright, small, good value for money

Cons: Af noisy construction unsound even if fit for purpose

Opinion: is a must for all photographers of any kind! I did some tests comparing other lenses 50 mm and that the waste to be a plasticotto that is so small that you lose it in the bag, has a brightness and superb picture quality! wide open is great, and the half-length portraits and photos in general is fine, with a nice blurred. is a lens that never lets you down ... unfortunately the AF is a tractor, but for what it costs, who did not have to buy it??

Pros: price - size / weight - sharpness if just a little closed - brightness

Cons: construction - AF - a little blurry .... pentagonal! - Manual focus diffcilissimo

Opinion: Inevitable in any kit lens low budget (and not only). For € 100 you bring home a toy that will unmount if you do not hand in the first breath (very rough construction) will give you great satisfaction. Reaches 1.8 with decent results, and if a little closed to may pay a more expensive lenses and emblazoned in terms of color and sharpness. The noisy and slow AF (money's worth) The focus is not nice but not so unwatchable .... well also blurred the money's worth!

Pros: Price, sharpness, brightness

Cons: Soft to 1.8, plastic, etc.. etc..

Opinion: Honestly, that is 50ino plastic, I do not I could care less. Costa yes and no 100 euros and gives a sharpness much higher than the 18-55 kit (I mean the non-IS version ... the only one I tried). For those who are going to buy only one camera and is bled after the disbursement, the 50ino is a lifeline that allows for very little money, to go into the street and shoot! It 's true that suffers from all the flaws described by many before me, but if you go to look at the value (optical) / price is a lens recommended.

Pros: Small and light, excellent sharpness (from f2, 8), very low cost, brightness

Cons: plasticosissimo, feeling anything but robust in hand, 1.8 is very soft, almost non-existent MF ring is so small and uncomfortable.

Opinion: was my first fixed lens, perhaps initially taken from the news I thought it was a great lens and then using it I saw that the defects were increasingly felt. Also shooting with a fixed I realized 50mm on aps-c are not a focal length that suits me, short for portraits and long for general photos such street or landscapes. The focus is slow, but I can understand not being usm, sometimes especially in low light conditions is also inaccurate and diaframmai so open even a bit of imprecision affect the result of the photo. In these cases prefeririei focheggiae in manual but the micro-ring makes it quite difficult. To sum up, it is a focal length that I would recommend to those who have a FF, while a aps-c in my humble opinion a 35 or a 28 I find them much spot on.

Pros: Optical quality, price, brightness

Cons: Imprecision MAF (at least mine often)

Opinion: I just purchased fifty, I got x certainly an excellent quality / price ratio but also because seeing the evidence on the internet to open the average damage better than other older brothers. I find it clear already to 1.8 f / 4 ISO test is comparing it to the best of the 24-70L at 50mm. The focus is noisy and I find sometimes indecisive in focus (it will be normal since it is not USM God forbid), but my problem is something else and I would not be the same as many who consider it too soft at room temperature : I just bought tests focus on the focus chart and I noticed a slight front focus. After several tests on different subjects 8 times out of 10 the wrong mf. Do not know if this is normal considering the price of optics, in any case, I will take him to be checked. On the other hand the problems of front / back focus is around the corner with objectives so bright.

Pros: All, considering the price

Cons: None, considering the price

Opinion: The fact that costs € 90 again turns any flaw into an advantage, I mean. It 's all plastic, but also weighs very little. The 5 lamellae are few to a great bokeh, but is not the "pannosità" of a bokeh to make a beautiful picture. The focus is not comparable to a USM, but my copy is always accurate and fast enough for a view portraits. The focus ring is not at all practical to use .... and this is just a defect. The 50mm could be too many on APS-C ... it depends on the photographer. In addition, the photo quality is very good, it is quite clear already at f1.8 (or at least it is my copy) and is bright enough to resolve difficult situations. I mean, did others fixed with the same quality and the same price 50ino'd take them all.

Pros: Bright, light, crisp, economical.

Cons: at that price ... no

Opinion: The fifty is a fantastic lens, there is' no reason not to own it. New costs 100 euro, which is used much less. The quality of construction can also leave something to be desired, it's all plastic, including the mount, but the lenses are good. The focal length is great for learning how to compose shots, leaving the immobility is that damage the zoom, you have to zoom in on their own feet, move, think. The quality of the images is more than I think any other entry level zoom that comes with the kit usually xxxxD, xxxD and xxD. You set the machine on Av, set to F1.8 and go around to see the world in a different perspective at any time of the day or night, the bokeh is magical. Obviously the best optical invoice still have more sharpness, bokeh most soft, and many other qualities, but all pay. The economics of zoom kit will hold the image stabilizer, but if your subjects are moving in low light, you need to CEH is a bright lens, and go up to F1.8 is, for me, a joy. In my opinion, unless you already have one of the older brothers, not there is `no reason why a photography enthusiast should not have this in mind in the kit.

Pros: Value for money, sharpness from 2.8 up

Cons: materials, soft wide open

Opinion: Fantastic. I took a little bit for fun, because I needed a lens for some bright blur. Incredible sharpness from f2.8. It 'actually soft to 1.8. AF I find accurate though perhaps not very fast. It 's all in plastic and maybe it will not last a lifetime, but this means that it is also very light. On APS-C does not suffer from vignetting. Now all evaluated in the light of the price (100 euro new) and you'll realize it's worth buying, anyway.

Pros: Sharpness - Weight - Price.

Cons: AF inaccurate, slow and noisy - Economic Construction - Bokeh unpleasant.

Opinion: A great lens for its price, but pull out the maximum is often time-consuming. Good at room temperature, it becomes a blade from f/2.5 ... provided that the focus is correct. The AF is completely unreliable in low light, and in any condition is always good to check after shooting the MAF is in the right place. Unfortunately this defect severely limits the range of applications. If you want to focus a safe and relatively quick, consiglo to use contrast detection in live view, holding the camera straight in front of him with the strap tension on the neck for stability. The focus ring has a bad feeling, but still manage to get good results with a little patience. Buy recommended for those without a lens in kit superluminosa and / or very clear and wants to experiment with the benefits of spending a little (very selective focus, photography at night, looking videos film, etc ...).

Pros: Brightness, sharpness, price

Cons: Bokeh, build quality (in part), noise

Opinion: I do not know if I could interject, in the sense that I have the first version, which from the point of view of construction is much better than the second. I find it an excellent lens in relation to the price, even if the used version of the Mark I, can in some cases exceed the price of the Mar II again. I think that if used well can give excellent results, many who decry in favor of the version f 1.4 sometimes just do it for snobbery, is a feature common to have more than knowing how to actually use, pardon controversy. Juza remove me if I was inappropriate.

Pros: Cost (especially if used), Lightness, f1, 8 to Enjoy

Cons: AF slow and not always accurate, Manual Focus Ring, not beautiful bokeh

Opinion: I got this lens used for 50 Euro (one for each mm ...) and I'm really happy of this expenditure. For me as a beginner is a great gym with fixed focal lengths: a bit of difficulty, but a lot of satisfaction. For the price you pay you can not expect superior construction quality that it offers, but if they had kept the ring of MF as in version MKI would certainly be easier to maneuver. The AF is Valentino and unfortunately often 'slamming' it stops when it can not immediately lock the focus, just a bad feeling. The bokeh actually as many say is a little too textured especially if there are lights in the field, more than 2.8 the only 5 aperture blades can be counted perfectly ... Ultimately I think it's a lens unassuming must-have in the kit beginner.

Pros: It has a great value for money

Cons: Focus slow, attack plastic and non-metallic

Opinion: This lens is now in my possession for some time. was my second goal, after plasticotto. Has positive effect for its cost, because diaframmando some really sharp images are obtained. A f 1.8 is a little more "soft", but in any event, in extreme cases it is always better to have a diaphragm that allows you to shoot in low light. another flaw, is the fact of having the attack plastic. In addition to its focus leaves something to be desired, because of its slowness and its imprecision, especially when the light is not much. I highly recommend it for its image quality and brightness.

Pros: Value for money, brightness, sharpness, weight.

Cons: Construction, manual focus ring almost non-existent, blurred hard, MAF difficult to TA

Opinion: It 'an objective surprising because beyond appearances-is lightweight and plasticky, looks like a toy with complimentary detergent! - The center is clear already at room temperature and just diaphragmed becomes a real blade across the frame. Considering that costs as much as or less than a polarizing filter, is a lens-school that a neo-canonist can not fail to consider. Of course there are also drawbacks: the AF TA is not accurate (especially on 7D) and sometimes it is useful to use the LV, the ring of MAF is almost non-existent and focheggiatura in manual becomes difficult, it is not soft or fuzzy very progressive, the AF is fast and noisy. But we are talking about a lens that costs 100 € (70-80 on the used market) that allows really good shots as the tunnel itself demonstrates unequivocally. Considering the low price (and not the quality itself), deserves at least an 8.

Pros: Price, sharpness, brightness, compact and lightweight

Cons: Construction, manual focus ring, auto focus speed

Opinion: I own it for a few months, bought used, and I consider myself satisfied, the value for money is great, despite many shortcomings: made entirely of plastic (including barrel and bayonet), ring for maf small and uncomfortable, very slow autofocus. For the rest it's a great goal: good sharpness, excellent the f1, 8 and blurred, in my opinion, acceptable. The compact and lightweight (it is the lightest EF lens ever) make it a lens easily transportable. Do an 8 for value for money.

Pros: Light, cheap, bright

Cons: focus ring on the little handy, autofocus, construction material

Opinion: I chose to buy a lens that first of all for the cheap price compared to the optimal brightness. Can also be used freehand in situations where light is scarce. The autofocus is not always accurate but especially in certain situations it takes a while to find the fire. Good sharpness and like most of Canon lenses colors too. In my opinion degrades the image using Aperture more than 16. Good for portraits even though I'm not crazy about the bokeh. It 's perfect to be worn in your pocket! That said, price / quality ratio very excellent!

Cons: autofocus, blurred a bit 'hard materials

Opinion: a lens is very cheap, and as such should be considered. has an autofocus which is a tractor, on the other hand offers a great sharpness. despite the focus is a bit 'hard, value for money is exceptional, but mostly because the price is ridiculously low. is made entirely of plastic. I think this focus on useless aps-c, much better than a 85mm (or 100mm) for portraits and busts a 30mm and events. full frame of a lens from 100 € to 2000 € machine is quite a paradox, much better than the various f/1.4. tried to borrow five days, and returned thinking to myself "never again".

Cons: All plastic, un-ergonomic the focus ring to focus

Opinion: Great lens of excellent brightness and with good optical quality, also in relation to the price and a (around 100 euro). To always carry in your bag also saw the limited weight. From its best in low light, allowing you to make good shots with iso values ??not too high. Only flaws the focus ring to focus the lens at the top and very narrow, so little ergomica and difficult to maneuver and alas and did all the plastic that many jokingly call him the lens of the bean. I conclude by saying that with this value the so-called "fifty" is a lens you have in own camera bag

Opinion: The 50ino! It 'was my first lens fixed lens. What satisfaction! I carry with me always seen its footprint entirely absent. In low light always manages to get along very well. I find great especially as regards the quality / price ratio. When mounted on cameras with APS-C is very suitable for portraits as the conversion ratio led him to be a 80-85mm focal length for portraits prince. Gives the best of itself (in terms of sharpness) diaphragms a little 'closed as 2.8 - 4 - 5.6 - 8 - 11.

Pros: cost / brightness unbeatable, disposable

Cons: made of plastic, not precise focus

Opinion: I have taken for the brightness, sharpness as to 50mm zoom beats many low-cost carriers. Certainly it is not to be used frequently but in low light conditions like in church. The video gives you great satisfaction for the PDC, the regular rooms is impossible. If you feel passionate about photography and want to evolve, I think the first step that you can do without spending too much.

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, brightness, cost.

Cons: Manual focus ring impractical, "plasticotto."

Opinion: It 'was my first goal, "serious" I purchased and since then it has always mounted on my 450D. The lens has surprised me asap for clarity: it is a little soft at F1.8 F2.5 but it is good to be up. The opening of F1.8 brings a very good brightness of the lens in low light conditions but would still need a stabilizer, for the shallow depth of field (and therefore the difficulty to focus and recompose) the manual focus ring is a little 'narrow and really impractical to use, the lens is therefore more practical to use from F2.5 up for at least the ability to focus and automatic redial, and the bokeh suffers a bit' of only 5 aperture blades and in my opinion, is a little soft, but often it is more than acceptable. The lens is a true "plasticotto" but it is light and does its job for sure. I would say that is a lens a must try for those who want to approach with a view to fixing the light and shallow depth of field, even given the cost very reasonable. Mounted on an APS-C camera becomes a 80mm, especially ideal for portraits.

Pros: Brightness, excellent sharpness, cost

Cons: It 'almost all plastic

Opinion: After making several searches on targets suitable for the portrait, and after seeing a small amount of dindini available in the portfolio, I opted for the so-called "fifty". And I must say that I was really impressed! Ll talk about it on the forum as a plasticotto extremely bright and sharp ... and so it is! Clearly, the older brother f/1.2 L will be much better quality (especially in construction) but is very close to his brother intermediate f/1.4 (I had to try it) and in any case for what it costs (I have used paid 65 euro, new costs around 90-100 ...) is still going strong! A wealth of detail really impressive, very good even in low light ... a lens affordable and of great quality! And by the way, even in the unlikely event that it were to break, to buy another figure who knows what we should not pay exorbitant ... recommended
