WaMu Tower by me
This is a photo of the Washington Mutual Tower in Seattle from when I first got my Rebel XT and still had Canon’s bargain-priced 50/1.8 lens. It’s a nice lens, lightweight and very sharp. The big drawbacks for me were plastic construction, the loud AF motor, and the very loose-feeling manual focus ring. Still, I think it’s a far better choice for a first lens than the standard kit lens – it’s great for low-light photography and consistently makes nice portraits. Since I didn’t like or use the AF much I sold it and got a couple of old manual screw-mount 50mm lenses instead.
