Fabulous! [Posted on 2008-09-01] This is a great lens - does everything it claims and more. Takes lovely shots even without manual settings. I love it.
Great value [Posted on 2008-09-01] For those who are into photography enough to own an SLR but not so much that you're willing to invest $1000s on it, this is the perfect lens. The quality compared to the cheap zoom that comes with most new Canons is marked--no one could mistake the image upgrade from a shot with a cheap zoom and a shot with this lens. And its so cheap!
You get what you pay for [Posted on 2008-09-02] I purchased this as an addition for my d40 equipment. I returned it the next day. The price should have been a tip off. It hunted in low light about 80% of the time and 20% in good light. It miss focused badly in more than have the 50 test exposures I took. The build quality is definitely Canon's low end; feeling very plastic. It was also surprisingly noisy for such a small lens. I'll stick with the higher end Canon lenses like the 24-105L (which I love!)
Very good canon lens [Posted on 2008-09-03] i absolutly love to capture images with this lens. The absense of zoom is more of an artistic additive. It takes extremmly clear and crisp photo. I did't notice any noise during focusing at all. I also bought the tiffin filter along with it.
Super Value [Posted on 2008-09-03] Read quite a few reviews on this lens. So many stated the lens construction was not up to par-that it broke with repeated use---well it all depends how you treat it. I treat this lens just as I do my more expensive ones. So far, I have nothing but good to say about it. I do a lot of photos at gymnastic events where flash is TABOO. This little " piece of plastic " performs VERY well. Would recommend to anyone wanting an affordable lens with beautiful results.
