Good lens for indoor sports

I use this lens for photographing my daughters basketball games. For the price this is a great lens. I put my ISO to 1600 and my speed ranges from 300 to 400. The only thing I wished is that I could have found a wider angle lens like a 35mm with the same f-stop because sometime 50mm is too much

Worth every penny....and almost costs pennies

You simply can't go wrong with this lens. It is fast and sharp and the price is unbeatable. It is difficult to use indoors on a digital SLR for much else then portraiture, but that is expected with the 1.6X multiplier.

what a great investment

I think buying this lens is one of the best investments I've made. It is very reasonably priced and a great product!!

Can't be more happy...

Can't be more happy with this lens.

Pros:
- Fast F1.8, takes clean and crisp pictures. Great for portraits.
- Focusing is spot on. Takes good pictures in low light (because of high f/stop)
- Is built well enough, nothing to complain about.
- Is economic making it a good investment for beginners.

Cons:
- Focal length 50mm: on a D-SLR with crop 1.6 focal length is actually 80mm (crop 1.5 = 75mm), you really have to step back when taking pictures indoors, otherwise be prepared to crop someones head or feet off :)
- is a little noisy, but that can be ignored when compared to the pictures it produces. And it is not USM, it is a regular 50mm lens.

Overall, this lens is great for the price and I would recommend this over the kit lens for beginners.

Sharper shots with Cannon EF 50

I purchased the EF 50 f/1.8II because I was so unhappy with the level of focus I was getting with Cannon's kit lens. I asked around and received a lot of input on this prime lens before I purchased it. I'm very pleased with the sharp shots I'm getting now. However, this lens does not have a long focal length, so be aware that this is primarily for close-in shots and portraits. You can see some of my shots at [...]
