Best Bang for your Buck lens that Canon offers. Good image quality
I am a photo hobbyist/amateur shooting on the cropped sensor Canon 7D. I got this lens as an ad-on for a good portrait focal length (80mm on x1.6 sensor) and I love it. For the money, everybody should own this lens and learn to shoot with a nifty fifty.
This lens is a little soft wide open at 1.8 but is EXTREMELY sharp when stopped down anywhere between 2.8-8.0.
The bokeh is pleasing with this lens. DOF is super shallow at 1.8 which is great for isolating your subject and completely blurring out the background. I recommend a non-moving subject if shooting at 1.8 as focusing depth is so shallow. Personally, I find the background and bokeh to be the most pleasing around 2.8-3.5.
AF is a bit noisy and slow but is a non-issue unless attempting to shoot a fast moving subject.
This lens does still give you Manual Focus control even when set to AF which is a nice feature for fine tuning adjustments.
The focus ring itself is annoyingly small and placed right on the edge of the lens but, again, a non-issue when considering the image quality and the price of this lens.
Certainly a good buy and is something everybody should have in their lens arsenal.
