Great Beginner Prime Lens
This lens has an excellent aperture (f1.8) for the price. It allows
you to really control the depth of field when taking portraits and other
settings where you want to have the background blurred or softened.
The lens is cheap because it is made out of plastic. Even the bracket
to mount to the camera is plastic. The manual focus ring is very small,
about 5mm wide, or just a little wider than a polarizer filters' ring.
This lens is sharper than the standard zoom lens that comes with the Rebel series (18-55mm). So if you are on a budget it is a great buy. I knew it was made out of plastic before I bought it, so I wasn't surprised when i got it. I do not regret this purchase, because for what you get, you can't beat this price.

Cheap and Love It!
This lens is so cheap but it's a great introductory prime lens. I
bought this with my Canon XTi and haven't taken it off! I love how
beautiful the images are that come from this lens. When I have used my
zoom (which was only maybe once when I first got the camera) I have been
disappointed with the images in comparison to the prime lens. I just
bought the Canon 28mm 1.4 and can't wait to get it. Go Prime!!!
