Has any of you used that lens?
Its VERY cheap and I´ve read some fine reviews on it

The main reason I want it is the f/1,8 Aperture.

Please if any of you have experience using this share it with Nazgûl

I have had the lens and used it on my 10d for about 3 months. I am very pleased with the results. As cheap as it is I don't really see a better deal considering the price. Like you say the 1.8 aperture is a big help in lower light conditions.

Also, the only real downside about it is the focusing ring, which is a little difficult to use at first because the design is so cheap. However, I don't have any real problems with it now. Oh, and the lens mount is also plastic. However, if it breaks just go out and buy again, its cheap enough to do so. Mine, by the way, has shown no signs of breaking, and I am not concerned about it either.

Great lens. I hardly take it off my camera. Here is a sample picture I've taken with the lens at F/2.5. Straight out of the camera.
