This is the lens quality your Canon should be supplied with;
3 of 3 found this helpful I bought this lens because I was so disappointed with my 18-55 mm lens that came with my 500D. I'd had a Nikon D50 before and I had been quite impressed by the standard lens and especially the variable speed flash exposure. The Canon cost several hundred pounds more and did not give the improvement I expected with its metering in strong sun light and flash, Park cameras exchanged the body for me but there wasn't any improvement. I wished I had bought a cheaper body and spent more on the standard lens. Anyway I planned to buy a 'thrifty fifty' and see if it was the lens at fault after all and saw this lens. I read several reports which said it was very good but not quite as good as the 60mm macro but it was also a lot cheaper than the 60mm.
I was nervous about spending more money after the disappointment of the camera and I thought I could buy a compact for the cost of this single prime lens but in a moment of weakness I decided to buy it anyway; then I nervously shot several snaps of coins, pens flowers and other miscellany to test it out against my disappointing standard zoom.
1. Firstly: It is noisy compared with the EFS (I haven't tried a USM) so noisy in fact that I was concerned something was broken but it wasn’t, it’s just noisy compared with an EFS lens. However I agree with the comment about the noise: ‘after a few shots I don't really notice it’.
2. Secondly: The colour saturation in photos was much better than with the 15-55 mm; I’ve read that ‘apochromatic’ lenses focus all wavelengths more accurately so your get less colour distortion so maybe that is what is happening here but I just wasn’t expecting such an obvious improvement in vibrant saturated colour.
3. Thirdly: It is noticeably much sharper and more detailed than the 18-55mm (maybe that is why the colour is better).
4. Fourthly: It is a fantastic portrait lens with an amazing ‘bokeh’ (the background blurs so the focused areas really standout in sharp relief against the blur which can make a portrait look really good).
5. Fifthly: The range of 18-55mm lens is a really useful range, having a fixed 50mm prime lens makes you really have to think about what you are going to take a photograph of because you can’t just zoom ‘in and out’. This lens makes you try harder and rewards you when you succeed.
This is a good lens and this is what you need if you want to begin to explore how good your camera is but you don’t want to spend £1000.00 on an ‘L’ range lens. Now I need to find an equivalent wide angle.
So,
PROs.... This is the lens quality your Canon should be supplied with; it has macro capability and doesn’t cost £1000.00.
CONs.... It is noisy and an awkward focal length for general photography unless you take mainly portraits for which it is excellent.
I'm happy I bought it and look forward to becoming a better and more satisfied photographer with it.

Does exactly whats required.
I prefer the horizontal layout of this adaptor socket, it makes it easier to organise all the cables coming out and appears to spread to load more gently on the original socket.
