I insisted on getting the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II with my 450D. Although a very controvertial lens, it's main feature is it's price. At $80, it's a small risk. Some people had complaints about the bokeh. I did see some decent examples of "bad bokeh" that people had posted. After the first day of shooting with this lens though I am very positive. Maybe I just got lucky and got a really good piece.
Here are a few examples.
1/60, f2.2 @ 400 ISO
If you look at the image it's rendered beautifully with only Crazy Sid in focus.
1/60, f2.2 @ 200 ISO
Perfect portrait lens. Nice realistic colours. This is exactly what I was thinking about when I decided to buy the lens.
1/60, f2.2 @ 400 ISO
Decent picture here too. The only thing I'd want is a little more depth of field. I guess I have to practice shooting with Aperture Priority.
All in all I am absolutely thrilled to have my DSLR and a fast normal lens. Will post back with more examples soon.
