So it may sound crazy to spend double the amount of money to get a used lens than the comparable new one; but don't think of it as double, think of it as an extra eighty bucks. This lens is very solid compared to any kit lens that I have felt, and from the reviews of the MK II that I read it puts it to shame. I love the distance window and the manual focus ring is in a nice spot. The metal mount feels very solid and tight with my XSI. I bought the XSI with the kit lens and the 55-250 IS, and loved the setup. What I did not love was that I needed a flash to get decent indoor shots. That is why I bought this lens, and I was not disappointed. It is an affordable lens for low light shooting. If you can't find a MK I and can't spend over three hundred on the 1.4 then buy the MK II. You will love the images, mainly because you would have missed them with the kit lens. For me though, it seemed worth waiting to find the MK I as I know I will have this lens for years.

That's why I opted for this used 50mm f1.8 MK1 Canon EF lens. From what I've been reading the MK2 is very cheaply made and has a plastic mounting ring that has a tendency to break or jam up to the point where it's extremely difficult to remove from the camera. I find this really disappointing since I've used Canon cameras for many years and they were always known for quality and durability. I guess greed has finally started to infect the Canon Corp to the point they feel they can start selling crap to their loyal customers. I think it's bad enough that quality wide aperture fixed focal length lenses should be so damned expensive now days. Enough about the MK2. The used MK1 I just purchased is in good shape, has the weight and feel of the old Canon quality, and appears to function normally on my Rebel T1i. The auto focus is a bit on the loud side but this may be normal since this lens was made back when auto focus was just starting out. The manual focus ring does not turn smoothly but rather has the feel of detents. Whether this is normal or a sign of a problem remains to be seen. I've never owned this model lens so I don't know how it is supposed to function brand new. The lens focuses well and that's all I need to know for now. If the economy improves over time, which is something I have serious doubts about, then I may buy a new f1.4 or f1.2 lens some time down the road but for now this MK1 will suffice. Update: So far so good. The lens is performing without problems and I'm extremely happy with this purchase. 4/20/2013

Purchased for my daughter for her new Canon T3i. She had received a recommendation to get a 50 mm or 85 mm lens Ito use in lieu of the kit lenses that came with the camera. She did some research and based on articles and reviews (here and elsewhere) she asked for the mark I version of this lens in lieu of the mark II. The premium was about $50 but I was more concerned about purchasing a lens that may have been manufactured as long ago as 1987 ... particularly if it wasn't an Amazon fulfilled item. In the end the daughter got her way and I procured the MK I. The lens arrived within 4 or 5 days packaged in bubble wrap and sturdy card board boxing as described by the vendor (NelsonRVA) in "like new" condition. A couple of days later she and I had the opportunity to check it out and we were not disappointed with its performance. The images are clear and vibrant and more than satisfactory for a budding photography enthusiast. So we're now tracking used 55 to 200 mm and 28 to 128 mm lenses for her next lenses to use in lieu of the 75 to 300 mm and 18 to 55 mm kit lenses both of which I thought took very acceptable pictures (but what do I know ... I'm a newbie too). An 85 mm may also be in the future if she develops into more than an enthusiast. All in all my budding photographer is satisfied with the T3i/50 mm Mk I combo. Maybe in a couple of years she'll hand down her T3i and these cool lenses to her daddy when she steps up into the big time. We'll see.

Comes with no lens cap or back cover. Lens is in good shape. Using it for"reversed macro photography". Very simple.

The lens seems to be in great condition. Focusing is a little difficult, but its nothing you can't compensate for with a trained eye. It also didn't come with a lens cap, but it's not a huge issue. Shutter seems to work well; there isn't any lag or any anomalies and it's clean! And the best part is that it came sooner than expected. 16 days in advanced. Great early birthday gift for myself. I can't wait to use it with my ae-1 program. Thanks!

I paid $33 for my lens to use (w/adapter) on my Panasonic Lumix G10. It is in beautiful condition - I am THRILLED! If you are using this on a micro 4/3, I highly suggest Rainbow Imaging's adapter for m4/3 to FD lens. The aperture IS adjustable with this adapter, but you'll have to make sure you have assembled it correctly so that the pins line up where you need them to. This is a fantastic lens option for m4/3 because if you use the EF version, you won't be able to adjust aperture. With this bargain lens, you'll get beautiful lenses and have the option to adjust aperture. FYI: The aperture blades will NOT move if you are trying to test it off camera (or, off adapter). That's just how FD lenses work, so don't panic! Do a google search to learn how to use your specific adapter properly. Micro 4/3 forums are lifesavers for this type of thing!

This was the worst lens I have ever bought for my Canon Ae-1 Program!! It all started when I opened the package for my lens then the second day I take it to class and my professor reviews my camera then the lens I bought and the lens did nothing not even did it take a photo! So then I took it to my local camera shop and they told me it was broken from within. It's a cheap price you pay for this lens but that's what you get in lens quality! Cheap! To the person or fellow college student who is considering buying this lens or buying this lens already go else where save time and money.
