Pros

Great lense for the price. You are a comfortable distance away with this lens, not too zoomed in or out. Definitely recommend all canon slr owners to buy one of these.

I'm currently a med student and sold my soul to pay for my tuition. This lens is well worth the 100 bucks i could have spent on my groceries instead. Good value for the dollar.

This is by far, my fave lens. It's called the nifty fifty by many enthusiasts for a reason.



Cons

This lens works, but is crazy clunky. It eats away battery power like crazy on af. Do not get fooled.
