Review: This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 4.6 oz. (130g). Compact and high-performance, standard lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.
"This lens has gotten a lot of attention as one of the true bargains of Canon's line. Its f/1.8 maximum aperture is great for available-light shooting, and when you stop it down, it delivers really excellent optical performance by any standard. The catch of course, is that you have to choose either large aperture or excellent performance, you can't have both together..."
