Amazon.com Product Description
Lightweight and affordable, the Canon EF 50mm lens--which offers a fast f/1.8 aperture--is an excellent lens for people who prefer a fixed focal length.

In addition, the lens focuses as close as 18 inches, helping you take extreme close-ups. Finally, the lens offers an excellent color balance. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty. - Focal length: 50mm

 Awesome Lens for the Price! October 8, 2008
This is an awesome little lens for the price. It's plastic but it's great for the amateur! There's nothing else that I can add that hasn't already been said in the other reviews, it's simply a great lens for the price, you can't beat it! Overall, an awesome portrait lens, wish more where affordable like this one! :-)
Great lens for the price October 6, 2008
This lens is great it's currently the only lens that I use. It's not the best built lens but at this price if it breaks buy another one.
 Fast and light lens, great for the price October 6, 2008
Well, for the money I spent this lens is wonderful. A little flimsy, as other reviewers have noted but almost heroic in its capacity for good pictures. I wouldn't take it on safari, but with the pop-up flash on my 40D this thing will take a passing portrait in a nearly dark room. The kit lens does not compare, speedwise. A drawback might be that when you really need the USM autofocus other lenses offer, this lens stutters a bit.
All in all, a great value for the price and a handy one to have for low light photography. Be gentle, though! I don't think it would survive even a minor impact.
Awesome Lens October 4, 2008
I read somewhere that the nickname for this lens is the "Plastic Fantastic" and it surely is!
I wanted a lens that was faster than my 2.8mm but didn't want to spend over $600. A friend recommended this one to me, and it was less than a $100. Somewhat skeptical, I read tons of reviews to see what others who own it have to say about it's performance and don't think I saw a bad review on it.
Takes great photos, and you won't find a lens this fast for the price.... Highly recommended if you want to save some money and still have an excellent lens.
Amazing! October 3, 2008

this lens is amazing for the price. ive had it for a little over a month now and havent had any problems with it before. however, be warned at f/1.8 the pictures are a little soft. so if you're looking for extremely clear crisp pictures you should bump it up to 3.2 or so. other than that i have absolutely no complaints about this lens.
