Concerning durability, only time will tell. Some say is at least as sturdy than "Canon 50mm f1.8" - but of course Canon is Canon regarding most other lenses, just fabulous factory. Otherwise, very good "bang for the buck" (god I hate these cliches). Summer will show it's "true colours" of it, spring seems just fine. Bokeh is possible to good extent because of the 7 blades ("lammels", like we say here in Finland also) in this objective - Canon's comparable has 5, more is better. Autofocus seems surprisingly accurate, but there's no "perfect" one, so that's not a problem. Also manual focus to switch for, but it's not full-time like in some Canon's models - even in the past already back in 90's. One cannot really go "wrong" with this lens as it is ALSO very affordable. Oh, and it's relatively fast lens being f1.8 wide open fitting rather well for twilight situations also and because of "bokeh" it might work pretty well for portrait-photos as well.Read full review

This is a very light lense and a little noisy but for the price it’s excellent value. Images are sharp and if you’re into it, great bokeh. Someone else stated that if it breaks they will just buy a new one at this price - that’s kind of my philosophy too. At this price I’m not too precious about it and will be inclined to experiment more drastically. Having said that I’ve no concerns that it’s going to fall to pieces in my hands and reckon I will get a lot of use out of it. I’ve given 5 stars as it is worth it for the price but of course not measured against other brands (canon, sigma)

An inexpensive prime lens for canon system (for both crop and FF sensor) with really nice "glasses". The picture quality is at the same level of standard.... sometimes much better. If you want a fixed focal lens but you don't want to spend a lot.... this is your choice. Not USM motor and all plastic construction but for the price you'll barely notice. Highly recommended.

I bought this as an additional lens for my holiday in Australia. As such it has had limited use and is currently packed in my case awaiting the flight! I am pleased with the results of it so far, and the problem people have mentioned regarding operating noise, hasn't bothered me at all. I am now back from Australia. I first used this lens on a family picnic to the beach at Hillarys. As I said before, the noise didn't bother me at all; in fact I didn't think about it, so it must not have been a problem. I am very pleased with the results and took some photos that I'm happy with.

I was looking for a cheap no thrills, easy to use lens to improve my portrait and single figure photo taking. The lens is well built and comes well packaged. The AF is responsive and quite. Colour reproduction is accurate and rich with excellent contrast and sharpness.
