Canon EF 50mm , Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens 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. As with all Canon lenses, the lens carries a one-year warranty.
For the price, this is a very sharp lens for an amateur photographer. I would recommend this to anyone using a kit lens, or looking for a cheap quality lens. The only optical problem is barrel distortion, but that can be fixed in photoshop if it is noticeable in the picture.
