For a more natural angle of view and perspective, choose from one of these lenses. These lenses will provide you with the image closest to how your eye perceives the subject. The medium telephoto lenses are excellent for portraits and for giving images natural depth of field. Their compact size makes them convenient to use in a variety of situations.

Pros: Buttery soft bokeh, fast performance in low light conditions, ultra sonic motor
Cons: Spendier than the 1.8, a little slow to focus in low light
Bottom Line:
I have to give this lens five stars because I love the pictures I get from this lens- my subjects pop while leaving the background beautifully blurred. Read More

Bottom Line:

Pros: Excellent sharpness, whisper-quiet USM motor, and actually a good value.
Cons: Manual focus ring feels plasticy, loose, and cheap.
Bottom Line:
Are you buying ONE lens? Can you afford this one? Buy it. That extra stop will save your life. Budget-constrained buyers should consider the 50/1.8-1. Read More
