I bought this after getting burned by 50mm 1.8 II 's unreliable AF. This lens locks on the spot where I focused 99% of the time.
Lens is tack sharp wide open and AF is surprisingly fast considering it doesn't have USM.
And Size..I love it. This is so compact, I usually mount 85mm 1.8 on my camera and carry this lens in my pocket.

Sharp @ wide open, creamy bokeh, FAST AF

I hate the hood

This lens produces some amazing pictures.
It somehow makes my ugly friend look pretty/handsome.
Mine was sharp out of the box at all aperture even @ 1.8.
AF was fast and dead on.
CA wasn't noticeable in real life shooting unless you shoot a sheet of crumpled foils.
Only thing I don't like about this lens is its hood.
It won't fit tightly.
I can hold the hood and spin the lens freely.
Come on canon, even sigma makes better hood/fit.

Pros:
|
Only $70, Very sharp images, Creamy bokeh
|
|
Cons:
|
AF/MF switch
|
|
|
This was my 2nd lense after 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 kit lense.
@50mm the image quality difference is HUGE.
This little lense is extemely sharp even @ 1.8.
It looks like a toy with its cheap plastic body but with hood added on, it looks quite nice.
Only thing I don't like about this lense is its AF/MF switch.
It is really hard to switch as it gets stuck and won't let me switch smoothly.
Other than that, it is a great lense for its price.
$70 is nothing compared to the satisfaction you get from this lense.
