    also a very good lens, but not versatile at all. it's good for just a few shots.

    The 50 1.8 is a good, sharp lens that is good in low light conditions... but it is a fixed focal length lens (aka 'prime') which means that you can't zoom with it.

    Unless you already know why you want/need a prime, stick with the 'zooms'.


    Really, if you want ONE solution that you'll never have to think about again, just get a super-zoom.
