4 out of 5 stars Sucks in the light!.......2007-09-17

This lens is great, as you'd expect. It has such a wide aperture, it can take really good pictures indoors with no flash. If you want to take advantage of the short depth of field, make sure to focus on the subject you want; it can be so short (if you want) that even nearby items are out of focus.

I use it with a half-frame image sensor DSLR so the effective focal length is more. Sometimes you have to stand quite far away from a person to take a portrait.

The lens allows manual focus at the same time as automatic focus, but I find that the focus ring is a little loose. (these may be related). People tell me that doesn't matter, but I wish it was tight.

4 out of 5 stars Lovely lens!.......2007-07-21

This lens is great for low light conditions. The focus is sharp and the background blur dreamy & creamy when wide open. Brilliant results with my 5d.

4 out of 5 stars Sharp with great colours.......2007-06-18

I've had mine for 8 years and it delivers sharp pictures with great colours every time. If I could only own one lens, this would be it.

4 out of 5 stars Far better than the 50mm f1.8.......2006-04-03

I've tried all of Canon's 50mm lenses from the cheap, plasticky f1.8 to the hyper-expensive f1.0. This is the best compromise and allows decent shutter speeds in low light without flash. It ia sharp all the way to the edges (upto A3 at least) and doesn't seem to be affected by flare even without a lens shade. If all you have used is the zoom that came with the camera kit, I suggest you try this and see what a difference a decent prime (single focal length) lens makes. At nearly £300, however, it is quite an investment, but worth it.

      5 out of 5 stars Unbeatable 50mm lens.......2007-07-08

      This is a fantastic lens and offers a clear step up in optical quality from the 50mm f1.4 from wide open to f2.8. Contrast is impressive (clearly superior to the f1.4 lens) and bokeh and sharpness are impressive. It is expensive, but worth every penny if you like shooting in low light or with a shallow depth of field.
