I originally only had the standard kit lens for my Canon 350d, but after reading lots of reviews i decided on the wee nifty fifty. Honestly, best buy for my camera yet. If you are quite new and don't have lots of lenses this is a great wee starter to get your passion back!
It's very light, so when its on the camera its great for slinging into your bag :-)
It's a bit strange getting used to the fact that you can't zoom mind you, but it does make you a bit more mobile ha.
The focus takes a bit of getting used to as well, I personally have found that I prefer it on manual focus. For me, the autofocus hasn't always zeroed in on what I want, but for me these are such minor issues I wouldn't even consider them negatives.
and the 1.8..man, it's just beautiful :-)

Haven't had the lens long, but from what I can tell, it is really good. Very pristine images produced. Very good for portraits. Lightweight. This lens is specifically for Canon EOS cameras, just so people are aware... ultimately, a very good buy. recommended.

My girlfirend didn't understand why I want this lens... after I bought it I shoot few pictures with her... some of them she keep for desktop images. :-)
All the cromatic aberation (very few) don't put in shadow a very good (and cheap) lens and a beautiful woman. :-)
If you want your woman (women ;) ) to love you, you must have this lens. :)

So much has been said about this great little lens that it's hard to add something new. Quality is far and above what you'd expect for the price, and it's so light you hardly notice in in the bag.
Build quality is strictly amateur, but don't be fooled, this lens delivers and unless you treat it badly it will reward you for years.
Going back to a fixed lens after the comfort of a zoom may seem strange at first but it takes me back to m old SLR days, when you simply walked back to fit more it. It makes you concentrate more on your framing and will make you a better photographer. The more shots you take, the more you'll want to use this lens, especially when you see the results.
If you're used to the plastic kit lens, the quality will blow you away. If you're used to L series, then it's worth buying for the heck of it.
Have to agree with the vast majority.

I bought this lens after reading positive reviews of it here and elsewhere and seeing sample shots. I'd just acquired a Canon EOS 400D with the 18-55mm EF-S kit lens, which is by no means a bad lens but I wanted something a bit sharper, with a wider range of depth-of-field, and to try working with a fixed-length lens.
The Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens did not disappoint. Optically, it's a little marvel: the images are clear and sharp, colour and contrast representation is excellent, and if there's any chromatic aberration with this lens, I certainly haven't noticed it. It's not a USM lens, so to manual focus you need to push the gear-switch on the side of the barrel. The manual focusing ring is right on business end and although ridged, tends to be a bit fiddly. However, wide-open, the depth-of-field is so shallow one really needs the autofocus, which is not silent but is as quick as it need be. In fact, I'm glad it's non-USM since this would only bump up the price; similarly with the construction, yes, it's made out of plastic but unless you're a routine and systematic lens abuser, how tough does it have to be?
All in all, given its optical quality, this little lens is fantastic value for money and a good buy for anyone who's just moved into the world of digital SLR.
