Great things come in small packages! [Posted on 2008-07-10]
I am so happy with this lens & you will be too. This little devil is amazing in low-light situations with my Rebel XTi. It's fast and the pictures are very crisp, it will definitely make you look like a pro. Most people comment that the quality of the casing isn't all that great; seeing as it's plastic, but if you take care of your equipment, you shouldn't have a problem. It's an amazing lens at a great price.

It's great for the price [Posted on 2008-07-11]
I got this over 3 weeks ago and I am mostly happy with it. Like the others said there is a problem with focusing. In low light it can be a hit or miss. But it delivers the most incredible macro shots - photos are sharp and the bokeh is unbelievable. I'm really glad I got this!
Thanks to Canon for such good price [Posted on 2008-07-12]
Amazingly sharp and an outstanding f-stop. It feels like somewhat plastic but don't let the looks and the price mislead you. I shot pictures with this lens on using my new 40D one late afternoon. Results were astonishing! I have never had such sharp images with Canon 24-85mm zoom. If you own a Canon, you must buy this lens and use it. Fight the temptation to use a zoom for the time being. You will appreciate the light weight and the sharpness, as well as the brightness (F1.8).
Remember, a fixed focal-length lens has MUCH LESS COMPLICATED optical elements than a zoom, therefore SHARPER & LIGHTER by nature. Many great sreet photographers of our time did not use a zoom. In fact, when I was a photography major in college in early 70s, I did not even dream of using a zoom. A zoom lens was for amateurs with dough, never for serious photography students.
A sharp lens at less than $90? I believe this is one way for Canon to say "Thanks" to their camera buyers.
Great lense for the Price [Posted on 2008-07-12]
For the Price you can't go wrong. I recently graduated from an Olympus PAS camera to the greatest photo-box ever, the Canon 40D. The camera came in a kit with the 28-135 zoom lens which is very good. However, I love to take portait pictures and the 50mm had gotten great reviews so I went for it. Let me tell you that I have not been disappointed and neither will you when you see the great pictures that you will be taking with this lens. Note that the lens may appear inexpensive, but if you take good care of it, as I know most photo lovers do their equipment, it should last you a long time. Good luck and great "clicking"
