Great lens
- Pros: For the price, this lens is amazing. Bought it at the same time as a T1i. Since I have gotten it. It has barely ever left my camera. Helps take beautiful images.
- Cons: NONE.
- Other Thoughts: Great photos. Some have complained about it being made of plastic. It doesn't seem fragile, but I wouldn't try dropping it, or any lens for that matter.
Build quality is what you pay for, great lense though!
- Pros: For the money, this is an astonishing lens. It practically sucks in light. To give everyone an example I have the lens that comes with the Canon 5d Mark II. Went in to a concert to photograph with that lens. To get anything usable I had to go to 6400 ISO, 1/60th with the lens absorbing as much as possible. Not enough. Put this lens on and dropped the ISO to 2400, 1/200th of a second which properly lit photos. Huge difference, and at $100 it's supremely worth it.
- Cons: For $100 bucks, I can't think of any. This lens is made to be good and cheap and easy to replace if broken.
- Other Thoughts: As for people who drop it and complain... How often do pro photographers drop lenses? Never dropped a lens in 10 years of photography; EVER. And how often to pro photographers only spend $100 on a lens? If people want a better built product, PAY MORE. Don't blame a product purposely made for a price point.
Don't by a scooter and complain it's not a motorcycle.
It's not that delicate!
- Pros: * Light (as in not heavy)
* Low light shooting
* price
- Cons: * noisy when not able to focus
- Other Thoughts: People are harping on and on about the plastic casing for this lens. It's not that big of a deal. From what I read I thought I would have to handle it like my new born. It's more than sturdy enough for me and doesn't feel like it's going to break apart.
