I'll preface this post by saying that I'm very new to the world of professional photography. If you're looking for a professional, comprehensive review of this lens, this isn't the blog post for you. This is the worst review of this lens, but I figured some beginners might appreciate my first impressions of it. Consider yourself warned.
My Canon 60D came with a 18-135mm lens, but I decided that a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens would be my first lens purchase. After reading many nice reviews about the lens, I shelled out the measly $104 for it and brought it with me to Sunday River ski resort in Maine for a test. I was very impressed with the results.

I'm having lots of fun with the impressively shallow depth of field I can get with this lens. The photo above of my shoes was taken indoors with natural light coming in through a window. No flash, low ISO, and a normal shutter speed for handheld. For $104, this seems like a great lens. I'll post more photos and opinions about this lens as I use it.
