Title: Great lens, great value, but soft wide open
Review: I love this lens. It is incredibly versatile for night photography. Wide open you get great bokeh. On a Canon 60D it is an excellent portrait lens. It is not very sharp wide open, but for portraits usually too much sharpness is not desired either. It does not seem quite as sharp as my 35mm f2, but both lenses have different uses. I mostly use the 50mm on my 60D as a portrait lens at wider apertures and the 35mm as a street photography lens (normal focal lens on crop sensor). I just ordered the new Canon 6D and look forward to testing them on a full frame in the coming days.It is reasonably well built - particularly considering the price.
