Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II



Buy it from:

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. Canon's lightest EF lens at a mere 4.6 ounces, the lens boasts a traditional Gauss-type optical design that delivers a sharp performance even when wide open. As a result, the lens provides an image that's extremely close to how your eye perceives a subject, making it excellent for portraits and images that require a natural depth of field. In addition, the lens focuses as close as 18 inches, helping you take extreme close-ups. Finally, the lens offers an excellent color balance.

Amazing

This little lens is less than $100 but delivers amazing images. It feels light, and cheap, but you would never know it from the photos you can take with it. There's no reason not to own this lens unless you already have a more expensive 50mm. It's not super-sharp at 1.8, but starting at 2.2 and above it's terrific.
