The 50mm is less than $100 and you won't find many better low-light lenses than this one. It's really great anytime indoors where you simply cannot use (or don't want to use) flash. The only other lens I have that is better in low-light is my 135mm f/2.0 lens which costs about $1K! So it's a nice little lens to have in your kit regardless. And while using it you can get a good idea of how far wide and tele you will need to go when buying your zooms.
This is going to be my next purchase, a 50mm. There's been so many shots that I wish I could have used just a little bit faster shutter or not had to fire off the flash. Another thing I've found to be handy is to go back and review the shots I've made. My kit came with a 28-80 and a 70-300. After reviewing my shots, I figured out that I did a lot of shooting above the 135mm range (my girl's soccer games mostly), and below the 200mm range, therefore that prompted me to go to the 18-200mm. But that 50mm/1.8 is definitely next on my list. -- Remember, Mithra is the Reason for the Season ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
