Summary: Great Lil Lens
Comments: Love this lens. Yes, it is plastic and I can easily see where it could be easy to break. however it's quick. The 1.8 aperature opening means I can easily blur backgrounds and the bokeh is great. (I do not really care if the bokeh is pentagonal, it still has a nice effect). I give this lens 4 stars more because of the auto focus than because of the plastic body. I just do not think it focuses to suit me, however that's easily rectified by switching to manual mode. It still does a great job, I guess I just expected more based on the reviews I read. Would purchase again...a thousand times over. |

Summary: Freakin awesome 50mm
Comments: So when I got my XS I read that I should skip the kit lens and just get a cheap body and this 50mm. This lens did not disappoint. At 1st I thought it sucked because I did not know how to use it and was using autofocus, for really great stills use that digital zoom howeverton to get stuff far away in clear focus, its surprising how much detail you can get in your pictures. Sucks that I can not zoom in or out however I would rather have clear pictures and run around all the time than be frustrated trying to get a great quality picture with a zoom lens. Lots of people say the construction for this sucks, however what the heck do they expect from a plastic lens? its obviously built to be lighter and not weigh down your camera, besides if you drop your camera you are and idiot, thats why these things have neck straps, however i could see how a kid could grab a hold of it and slam it on the ground (this wold probably not survive) regardless its a great deal for 100 bucks, its inexpensive because its plastic, manual focus seems loose, autofocus is snappy and makes a really cool mechanical sound, 1.8 aperture at this price is an insane deal and i really do not care with any of the little faults on this lens, it takes great pictures and motivates me to move around and find more dynamic angles for taking pictures by forcing me to move around to get closer/further from subjects |

Summary: Nifty-Fifty: Lives up to it's name
Comments: What can I say that already hasn't been said about this lens? It's sharp, it's light and contrary to what people say, it doesn't feel like a toy at all. The finish is nice (albeit could be nicer) and the lens itself feels solid in your hands. When it's mounted on your camera, you forget that it's a mere $100 lens, and you make pictures that professionals would have charged you a liver and a kidney for.
This lens is great for beginners, and it's perfect in that it will teach beginners the magic of f-stops/aperture settings.
The lens is incredibly sharp and focuses incredibly quick. When light is low, it has a hard time finding what to focus on, however that can be corrected by focusing manually. ;)
All in all, this lens does above and beyond what you would expect from it. purchase it without hesitation.
I'll post some pictures in the picture section; take a look for yourself. I consider myself an amateur. :) |

I do endorse this lens to those who are serious about photography. however if you have a camera that will take this kind of lens, id say that you probably are. It's a little pricy, however the pictures you will end up with (as long as you keep at it) will be priceless. |
