a GREAT lens for the price!
This is a REALLY fun lens to use! I got it for my Canon Rebel XTi, and have used it constantly since. The lens casing does, of course, feel cheap and when focusing is slightly louder than a normal lens, but the pictures come out crisp and have good color saturation. I recently used this lens to shoot a preschool graduation in a darkened auditorium, and the pictures came out fantastic. I'd definitely reccommend this lens.

A+ lens for the price
Pro's:
-Great DoF (f/1.8)
-Great bokeh
-Inexpensive
Cons:
-Plastic, unlike the mk1... I've heard it's very easy to break... If you drop it it's a goner
-AF is noisy
-Focusing ring is annoying
Overall:
Overall, I love this lens... It's great, especially for the price. If you can't take perfect care of your lens, save up for the mk1, which is about $300 more, made of metal, and is f/1.4. But if you want a great lens for a cheap price and are willing to take care and just be a bit extra careful, I'd recommend this beauty.

Surprisingly Sharp Piece of Plastic
When you feel this lens, it feels like a joke. The construction quality isn't stellar (i.e. come on, it's plastic) but I have been generally impressed with the quality of images it produces. I shoot w/ this on a 5D and it produces fantasticly shallow depth of field, great colors, and surprisingly sharp images. I would recommend getting this lens, if for no other reason than as a backup.

Best deal for the buck
It's a really good product for this price. It is very light, it is nicely build and you get really nice portraits with this lens. I'm really glad about this investment.

Best portrait lens for the money!
I purchased this lens from Amazon for $80 and got the special offer: free Tiffen 52mm UV filter. The lens performs like a pro lens. The body is more fragile than the metal-body version, but that one is $250 more. If you are careful with it and/or keep it on the camera everything will be fine. If you drop it or twist it on and off in a hurry, I'm sure it will eventually get damaged. It is wonderful in low light...gyms, churches, auditoriums, etc. Is only $80 with a free UV filter, yet it will be one of the best and most used lenses in your bag.

Digital Camera Reviews: Canon PowerShots SD600, SD630, SD700 ISHello! Today we continue with our Canon digital cameras reviews. But in this post we will dwell on another series: Canon PowerShot SD. If you are not against, we will act on our old worked-out scheme, i.e. compare several cameras of the same series but of different level of production, I mean features and capabilities. We will distinguish between their similarities and differences and note this down in 2 tables.
(But if you have any objections, advice or wishes, you are welcome with them any time! I’ll be extremely happy to read and to take them in consideration, as well as try to fulfill.)
And today we are going to have a look at Canon PowerShot SD 600, SD630 and SD700 IS that will be available in April 2006. To be more exact, now we’ll delimit their properties and next time we’ll discuss their features, all the pros and cons in a more detailed way.
