Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard AutoFocus Lens - Gray Market
Customer Review: Best expendable lens....ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
yes this is a cheap lens. Yes, its a plastic fantastic. but that's exactly what i'm looking for.
I'm the type of photographer who will do anything and risk it all to get the shot I originally planned for. However, i'm not the type of photographer who makes a gazillion dollars a year and can afford to risk $5000 worth of equipment to get the shot. This lens is perfect solution for me because its only a few bucks and I don't feel I have to hold back when around water, extreme heights, bad weather, sand, etc... you name it. I have no problem mounting this lens to a T2i on the side of a motorcycle to shoot HD video or take it skydiving. I can get just as great shots in bad environments as that NatGeo wannabe with $9000 around his neck who hesitates to take a picture because his equipment is too expensive to risk.
My philosophy is to use cheap primes in places you wouldn't want to take expensive and heavy glass. At least you won't feel that bad if you drop it in mud. If it breaks like so many claim, i'll buy another one and get another 50,000 shots out of it. Even then, its still a cheaper path then going for the f/1.4. Besides, the 1.4 is due for an update, I would expect a mk2 version soon.
I love this lens. its a great 50mm on my 5D mk2 and a great 80mm on my 7D.
Description of Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Standard AutoFocus Lens - Gray Market
This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6 oz. (130g). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.Lenses
