I have owned this lens for 12 months now and take it with me when I'm photographing every time.
I use it mainly for portrait shots, which gives ultra sharp shot of the subject and good background blur behind the subject with vibrant colours. This lens is as good as it gets without having the 'L' standard, but remarkably as good.
Every wedding/portrait photographer who owns a Canon camera should have this lens in his or her arsenal.

This lens HAS to be the finest non-L Canon prime lens of them all.
Superfast, superaccurate autofocus, creamy bokeh, intense vibrant colours and contrast, pin-sharp from edge to edge, I have no hesitation in recommending this lens to any serious Canon photographer.

Cracking lens, sharp even wide open and it gets sharper stopped down! Creamy bokeh, quick and accurate focusing, internal focusing so front element does not protrude or rotate, great build quality, very nice size and weight. A bit of purple fringing in difficult lighting stuations.
It makes a good portrait lens, I use it on a cropper. Get one, you wont regret it.

Very satisfying
I just started with SLR and tried to find a lens specifically for taking portrait. I think this one works very well. Not so expensive but good enough for a beginner.

not bad and good value for money.
I have bought this lens for its aperture which allows you to take shots in low light conditions and with USM focus. This is exactly right and it works well. Read more
