Title: An older lens that needs an update
Review: I purchased this lens mostly because I shoot a 1.6 crop sensor and the 50mm on that crop is a bit too telephoto for most indoor situations.I didn't have the cash to shell out for the L-series version of this lens, but figured the f/2 would be fast enough for me. It is fast enough when the light is good, but this lens really struggles in low-light situations. It is also very soft until about f/4, effectively making it no more useful than the kit lens that comes with the newer Rebel series cameras at 35mm.Were Canon to update this lens with a f/1.8 and USM, it'd buy it again, but until then, this is pretty much a lens to pass on.
