It was $8, and i have to say, for the money it is extremely high quality. The thing is light as air, machined very well with perfect threads (including within the hood for reflection dissipation, and though I can't say I was experiencing any issues with flares before the hood, its nice to know its protected while offering me the best contrast possible in every situation. I have since eschewed my lens cap in normal usage. Way more convenient... Canon 7D

I need to order online. Thank you for the info buddy! My name is James ~ Gear

No stop AF issues that some are reporting, nice build quality for the money, extremely small which makes the camera less of a burden to always have with you, and when it nails focus nice and sharp/contrasty from wide open. This is a really great general purpose lens that enables you to have your camera with you as it doesn't get in the way. This would be even better if my camera could focus worth a damn (5d classic)

Ordered it last Thursday I believe from Adorama. Just did the standard free shipping though, so it shipped UPS Smartpost or something. It arrived at my local UPS facility on Friday and today it has yet to move. If it were normal UPS ground it would of been delivered today once it reached that point. No big deal though, but I hope it comes tomorrow! Looking forward to it.
