I own the 50mm f1.8 lens. I've had it for about 18 years. It was a favourite of mine when I used it with my old EOS film camera - especially good for low light situations like live music photography.

Using it with a smaller sensor DSLR, it becomes a master portrait lens, as it is that little bit longer focal length, and has great depth of field control.

Also, as it's so cheap, you're not scared of damaging it, so you have one less thing to worry about when you've got it out & about.

Light, cheap, compact, fast - what's not to love! Best EOS lens for the money!
