Pros:
Really sharp lens for the money
Wide coverage
Image Stabilizer works perfectly
Cons:
Plastic mount seems kinda loose when mounted
This is the perfect lens if you are on a budget for a telephoto lens. The sharpness is unbelievable especially on narrower apertures. The lens is perfectly sharp too on wide aperture. The only downside is the plastic mount and it's kinda having difficulties on focusing on low light. But to think that if it had USM and a metal mount, it would have been like 3 times the price.
Perfect bang for the buck!

Can't go wrong with a super sharp $100 lens
Pros:
Super Sharp...can't even describe how sharp it is
Light
Very wide maximum aperture
Cheap
Cons:
A bit slow in focusing in low light
Plastic mount
a bit flimsy in the construction
This might have been my smartest buy for 2009 (excluding my 28-135 is usm lens). I was curious about getting a 50mm for portraits and I was looking into the 1.4 version of this lens but I decided to give this one a try first. I was astounded by the sharpness of this lens. Compared to my more expensive lenses this one would be the sharpest, mainly because it's a prime lens but I was glad I only spent $100 on it. This has become my favorite lens for portraits. I also love the wide aperture that you can get with it. Construction isn't that great mainly because it is plastic, but for a hundred dollars, you can't go wrong with it. Maybe I'll save up for the 1.4 version of this lens but for now, it's really worth the money.
GOLDEN SLUMBERS: THE VERY BEST OF FRA LIPPO LIPPI USED - VERY GOOD VINYL

The very best!
Golden slumbers is a great selection of Fra Lippo Lippi songs on vinyl. The only thing I wished was light and shade should’ve been the original version but otherwise it’s still pretty good. The record is somewhat rare so price of it is pretty high. If you’re a Fra Lippo Lippi fan, this record is great!
