So, I have a Canon Digital Rebel, and I have the kit lens as well as 75-300m zoom lens. I'm thinking of buying the Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, at is is quite well priced.

That's the lens. I'm not looking to spend more than about $150 on a lens right now, but I'm open to recommendations. Does anyone here have this lens? If so, can you post some pictures that you've taken with it? I've looked through the pictures on the Amazon page, but would love to see some of your pictures, too. Thanks :D
 
I don't have that lens but I've read and heard from others that it is a fantastic lens for the price. That'll be a good portrait lens. ;) With $150, that's the only lens you can buy actually. :P
 
Yeah, I wanted to do portraits and macro with this lens. And I figured it was the only one under $150, lol... Lenses are so damn expensive >.<

you've pretty much got every lens that's under $150 now. :P

aye, lenses are expensive but they're worth it. i was going to buy a 50mm 1.8 as well before but i saved up a bit more and got a 85mm 1.8 which is razor sharp! but lately i've been having buyers remorse because 85mm on an APS-C sensor is too tight at times and for the around the same price i could've gotten a 50mm 1.4 which is also sharp.

Yeah, I saw that group, made my mind up I want this lens. Ordered it off Amazon, it'll be here tomorrow :]]] Gonna get some good street shots around campus in the next few weeks.

MX344: The only thing I can find bad about this lens is those damn pentagons are distracting.

I plan on adding a 35mm and an 85mm lens to my collection in the future (Hopefully by the end of the year).
