Yes its good.... and at under $75 bucks no one should be without one in their bag.

It's amazing, and cheap.

It's great. It's impossible to go wrong with this lens for that price.

It would be nice if it had a focusing and DOF scale, but otherwise I'm a big fan of the lens.

Exactly what he said. Unless you've got the coinage for a 50 f/1.4, you should spring for the 1.8.. it's a great, "nifty" little lens.

For a 50 it flares quite badly
Also it might not focus dead on because the motor is not as accurate is it should be by defintion.

But if you have to ask - it is probably better optically than any lens you own.

its not as sharp as i'd like at 1.8, but stopped down any more and it gets pretty sharp. by f4 its really really sharp

For the money, yes!
