Grab it while you can

This little lens is a joy to use - it is, at once, light weight, fast, sharp, and small. Due to its physical dimensions, it is unobtrusive when mounted and focuses both quickly and accurately. I does NOT use an ultrasonic motor, but there are no problems with it hunting for focus or noise ( just a soft buzz ).Because of its focal lenth, maximum aperture, weight and size, it makes an excellent 'normal' lens for an APS-C camera. Due to its age and contruction, it may well be discontinued, so get it while you can.
Pros: add a pro
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent lens for the price

I got this lens using on my 40D for its focal length is near 50MM on the 1.6X of 40D's sensor. Canon offer two version of this lens; this is one of the two; the other choose is the 1.4L which cost 5 times to this lens.
You really get for how much you pay. Sharpness is a big problem until F/4. That means from F/2.8 - F/2, sharpness is not very sharp at all, but something that is great for portrait because the blurring effect makes the skin softer. Focus noise is the loudest compared to all the Canon's lenses I have used, but under noisy situation, that is not a problem. Focusing speed is decently fast. Chromatic Aberrations again is a real problem under high contrast scene. built guilty is far better than the kit lens.
dispute of the negatives, overall I really love this lens. The standard 50mm alike focal length in my 40D is great for everyday photo and after all this is the cheapest lens I own, consider it as a bargain.
Pros: low price, 50mm alike focal length on 1.6x sensor, fast lens f/2, compact and light weight
Cons: un-sharp before f/4, loud focus
I would recommend this to a friend!
