I was using my old Rebel 2000 and the kit 28-80 zoom lens for about an year and no matter how hard I try, there was something lacking in my photos. It is the contrast and sharpness. So I was searching the field for a cheap but good quality lens and this little plastic piece draw my attention. Only 70 dollar for lens...unbelievable. So I just bought one and try to see the result by myself. It was a roll of Provia 100, one of the most respected film in the market and waited for an week get it back from Fuji.
WOW!! that was my first impression after receiving my slides. The best lens I ever see!!</p>
</p> Mine is an older version with metal mount which is much better built. The newer ones are poorly built with plastic mount. the old one makes horrific noise during autofocus but the newer one is not that noisy. However, both of them carries the same optics which is outstanding for a so cheap lens.
I carry it everywhere and it gives me excellent service under low light conditions where my other lenses are almost unusable. F1.8 is just terrific. Color rendering is very nice. Flare resistance is pretty good. My final impression: Canon 50mm f1.8 is a keeper lens. If you find it, get it and try to get the older metal mount one for it's durability even at a higher price ( I paid 130 bucks for a used one).</p>
