This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 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.

Some Customers' Comments

"For a lens under $100 you can't get a better Prime lens. Everyone knows this as the Nifty-Fifty. Even though all Canon makes is the Mk II (plastic base versus metal base, and no range dial), this thing is perfect for what it is."

"Best value for money in the Canon range. Every Canon owner should have one. They take spectacular portraits. I have also got some great landscapes from this lens."

"great fast lens for under $100. Fast focus, and has good separation. Images are crisp and clean. Granted it is not an "L" lens, but for under 100 bucks I don't think that you can go wrong."
