This is the lightest EF lens of all at a mere 130g, very compact and providing a high-performance for a standard 50mm f1.8 lens. Its Gaussian optics provide sharp delineation from near to far focusing distances. The color balance is excellent for a standard lens.
For more information on the benefits of the 50mm lens format, please 50mm 1.8, 1.4 or 1.2. The lens every photographer should own
