Strengths: Cheapest but best
Weakness: not durable
Great standard lens. It produces very clear images. very light and small. If you don't have large burget, I think it's perfect lens to start.
Strengths: Low price, great quality, light weight.
Weakness: Poor background blur, cheap construction, a bit noisy.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II is by far the best value lens available. For a cost of around $75 dollars, you get a lens that is fast and sharp. In fact, this lens is extraordinarily sharp at and beyond f/2.8. Its weaknesses include a poor foreground-background blur, a cheap construction that includes a plastic lens mount, and a noisy focusing mechanism. Overall, the quality of pictures that this...
Strengths: sharp, lightweight and inexpensive
Weakness: none
The Canon 50mm f1.8 lens II autofocus lens is one of the best values around. This inexpensive and lightweight standard lens can be used for available light photography and can capture wonderful candid shots. Although not a zoom but a fixed focal length lens, this issue is more than made up for its sharp images.
Strengths: Easily affordable cost; sharp photos in low light.
Weakness: occasionally has trouble focusing in very low light, but hasn't been a significant issue
At the recommendation of other users on a popular online digital photography site, I bought this lens to go along with my new Canon 300D Digital Rebel. I am not a professional photographer and this is my first SLR camera, but I was able to achieve some amazing results with the lens. I have taken mostly indoor shots of cats and the lens lets me shoot in low light without having to resort to the...
Strengths: cheap, fast
Weakness: cheap (in a construction sense), autofocus kinda noisy
this was my first lens purchase for my canon digital rebel. right now i only have the kit lens and this one and i'm often finding myself using this lens in situations where i don't need zoom or a wide angle. the autofocus is abit iffy...sometimes it takes abit to get a lock...and it's not exactly the quietest thing in the world...but if sound isn't an issue (or if you're like me and don't really...
Strengths: Price, light weight, 1.8 f-stop, low cost, good portrait lens, great first lens for the Canon 10D
Weakness: Glass, lack of lens hood, autofocus a bit loud
You really can't complain too much about the lens given the very affordable price. Made about 1000 pictures with it. Auto focus is a bit loud, but fast. Not sharp at f1.8, but good at higher aperature. I am biased because I now own a 16-35mm L USM (> $1,200). You really get what you pay for. For less than $80, the 50mm lens is very affordable. Should be the first lens you get if you only bought...
Strengths: Lightweight. Price. Sharp images. Great bokeh.
Weakness: Build seems very delicate. Adaptor ring spins so don't think of using a polarize filter. A bit noisy.
This is such a great lens for the price!! I bought this at the same time as my 350D and I can tell you I use this more often than the kit lens. The picture quality form this lens is unbeatable for under $100. All of my images have great color and are extremely sharp. I was amazed. The lens focuses fairly fast. The aperture opening up to f/1.8 is great for low-light indoor shooting—I think I am...
Strengths: Inexpensive, actually one of the most inexpensive Canon EF lens. Becomes 80mm/1.8 on 300D, good for portrait. Big aperture. Very Sharp and Very good opotical quality. Lightweight.
Weakness: Nothing much at this price. Difficult and slow focusing in dark.
This is the lens that every Canon EOS camera user should have. DSLR makes it even sweeter. Considering its price, it is really difficult to justify purchasing 50mm/1.4U. Yes it is not USM, which makes it not suitable for some situation, but for most situation, it is well enough. And its image quality is better than a lot of lenses much more expensive than it.
Strengths: 1. You can not get f1.8 on zoom lens 2. decent optical quality
Weakness: Plastic mount.Flimsy.
I bought this lens for my digital rebel. I regret that I did not buy it earlier. I can make picture I could not before. Digital rebel has a 1.6X factor so this 50mm lens is equivalent to a 80 mm lens on digital rebel. It is a perfect lens for portrait. The f1.8 aperture can create a very short depth of view and make your subject stand out. The f1.8 aperture coupled with digital rebel's ability to...
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II is a low-cost standard lens for SLR and digital SLR cameras. This is not as fast as the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM, and uses a linear extension system for focus adjustment driven by a Micromotor. This means that the autofocus is slower, and additional features are missing which might correct distortion at the edges. This is the lightest EF lens at 4.6 oz (130 g), and the...

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard & Medium Telephoto...
Strengths: Excellent Bang for the Buck! Prime lenses tend to be sharper by nature than zooms
Weakness: Lack of USM drive. Lightweight - I prefer my equiptment to feel more solid.
Purchased this lens for use on both a Digital Rebel (EOS 300D) and a Rebel 2000 35mm (EOS 300). With the 1.6x multiplication factor on the 300D this lens has a focal length of 80mm rather than 50. But, this is a tremendous prime lens - It's fast f/1.8 allows for fast shutter speeds or low light action. While it tends to be sharper at f/3 and up, you can't purchase many lenses even at f/3 let...
