It's a dark horse... built like a turd (the canon one at least), performance of a champion. and as has been mentioned, at 1.8, it's not to be sneezed at. properly exposed images indoors become feasible at shutter speeds high enough to prevent shake.
I recently got the Canon nifty fifty and TBH wasn't expecting much (paid under £70 for mine new) they seem to go for just as much used in the TP classifieds
First impressions when I unboxed it were that it looked suprisingly better built than I had expected, considering everyone says it's very plastic looking, and almost like a toy!
also people refer to it being noisey when focusing, mine doesnt seem to be any noisier than a kit lens? It also focuses pretty fast despite some saying otherwise.
I got a chance to use it over the weekend and the images were really sharp!

Or is that it's nickname??!!
Ive lost count the amount of threads about his lens??

its the canon 50mm f1.8 lens which is a cheap and is an entry into fast aperture lenses, but in reality it is poorly made, has poor AF and not particularly sharp wide open.

No it's not, she's got a Nikon...
What lens is?
Close it down slightly to f2.8 and the sharpness is brilliant - and for the price - unbeatable!
I've got a Nikon 1.8D and it's a superb lens! Razor sharp, great DOF, gorgeous creamy bokeh and great in low light. Get one - you won't regret it!
what would i search on ebay to find one of these for my canon 450d?

Is the autofocus thing only a problem with Nikon?
