Buy this lens. There is no downside.

It tends to take pictures of ugly women, that's a downside.

It's a good lens. Makes for nice out-of-focus blur. I've since upgraded to the f/1.4 USM but it's only marginally better optically. Build quality is a different story though.

Repost is a repost. Anyway, it's a good lens, considering the price.

Yeah, build quality is a concern. The other day I was taking pictures and as the lens was twisting to focus, it may have gone too fast or broken something because the lens just fell right out. After a little work, I got it to pop back in and it seems to work again, but still. It's a good lens if you're careful with it.

That's happened to mine twice so far. If you haven't yet done so, use a thin knife or similar to slide the internal "locking ring" back round into place and it should hold.

Pic kinda related (can't remember if it goes clockwise or not)

Is such a lens any cop for landscape?

I have a 30D with a 1.6 crop factor which is..gay.

Any chance you could ask that question again in English?

>>78970
Huh, that's perfectly fine English.
>>78968
For landscapes, nah but then again it's possibly the best value EF lens so Canon users should just own one on principle.

That’s the thing see, he was using English. You need it in American maybe?

Okay, so what does "any cop for landscape" mean? When I say it, it generally means "Police officer". A google define:cop query didn't give me any definition that fit this better.

"any good for landscape"

what about "cop a plea"
in this case it's "cop a lens"
that's kinda how i thought of it

And also, can I find a few words on the construction problems listed on the amazon comments?

A guy on there's all "buy the first one, it's not made of plastic and feels better" but tbh, for £70, I'm sold either way.
>> a mkI is fine too. des
>>79076
It's mostly people butthurt that the II is all plastic, including the mount. The first version has a metal mount and nicer fit and finish.
I haven't used the II but the original is a great lens.
>> ac !!VPzQAxYPAMA
>>79133
... which has the exact same optics and costs about double price, used, as the new Mk II costs.

Yeah, the 50mm f/1.8 takes pretty good pictures, but not as good as this. Only *some* of my good pictures were taken when I had the 50mm f/1.8 attached to my camera, but the neckstrap has been attached for *all* of them.
