I originally got it to take better low-light, higher-speed indoor pictures, which it does fantastically well. The wide aperture is also excellent for taking shallow depth of field photos. The fixed focal length makes me try harder to compose shots (because I have to move my feet rather than the lens) resulting in better photos. The low price makes it a low-risk investment. I've found myself leaving this lens on my camera when it's in the bag and using it more than my other two (Canon 18-55mm and 55-250mm).As other reviewers have pointed out, the housing for the lens is of lower quality than, say, my other two lenses. However, it is not as flimsy as those reviewers would have you believe. If you treat the lens and camera as though they were expensive, high-end equipment rather than toys, you will not have problems.If you're an advanced/professional photographer, you probably aren't even reading this review. If you're a beginning or intermediate photographer who is looking for an inexpensive departure from your existing zoom lenses or looking to expand your horizons, this is an excellent lens for you to try.For further reading on this type of lens, I recommend you check out: PROS: Low price, clear images, wide apertureCONS: Lower quality housingRECOMMENDED FOR: Beginning and intermediate photographersI was extremely impressed with this lens from the first time I attached it to my camera.
