COMMENTS: The 50/1.8 II is Canon's current low cost "normal" prime. It has a plastic lensmount, no distance scale and no seperate focusing ring (manual focus is done by rotating a knurled ring on the front of the lens barrel). Despite the low cost construction, the optics are very good maing this clearly the sharpest lens for the buck in the Canon lineup. In addition to being sharp and inexpensive, it's also fast (f1.8), small and light. It's a bargain lens that should find a home in just about every photographer's camera bag. On an APS-C DSLR it makes an excellent portrait lens, being the equivalent of an 80mm lens on a full frame camera.
