B&H Photo Video has the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Lens (imported) for $89 with free shipping. Add to cart to view discounted price. This is a best-value prime lens for your Canon SLR that is both very fast and very sharp. It is often referred to as the "nifty fifty."
Don't forget, Best Buy will pricematch B&H in-store (or online, if you call Best Buy's toll-free number for online customer service).
Wish it was that price for the Nikon.
I've had this lens for a few years now. Cheap construction and a little slow to focus, but overall an excellent lens and a great price.
1.8 is junk...go with a 1.4, spend the extra...
Realistically they should call it the nifty eighty.
I have a Pentax DSLR with a 35mm lens ... Now that's a nifty fifty for me!
I have this f1.8 but my Canon 17-55 EFS f2.8 is sharper than this (on a Canon 7D).
