I don’t know enough about photography to understand all of the fancy lingo and charts. What I do know is that this is a great lens for taking pictures indoors.
My other lenses are more whiz-bang, but I turn to this one over and over again for getting sharp pictures of my baby in low light conditions.
Make this the first lens you buy after the kit lens.

Canon 50mm lens
I should have paid more close attention when ordering since this lens is so limited as to be rather useless. I can take closeups of flowers but little else.

I recently purchased a pair of Alpen Rainier 8×42 binoculars for birding. I was surprised by the brightness and edge to edge clarity of a binocular that cost under $900.00. Having looked through both Zeiss and Leica,Alpen RAINIER 8×42 Waterproof Roof Prism BinocularI was amazed how little difference there was between the Alpen and the more expensive brands,especially considering that they cost over $1000.00 more. It is comforting to know that the Alpen has a lifetime warranty. The Rainier has a really fast focus to keep the birds in sight. It comes with a very nice case, rain guard, and neck strap.

The product itself is great, but I ordered one day shipping and it took 5 days, if you REALLY want this item, you probably need to order from someone else!
