I've gone and done it!!!
After some searching around and reading about Digidiva buying one, I gone and purchased a Canon EF 50mm f1.8 II Lens.

I'm also buying a polerising filter to go with it and taking it all to Lake Garda.

It's in at the deep end, as I won't have much time to get used to it, but learnings fun.

We'll see what I bring back.

Rog

I think you will enjoy the nifty 50. Cheap and cheerful and sharp.

I swap and change quite a lot Rog. I have 5 lenses to choose from. My kit lens 18-135, Wide Angle 10-20, nifty fifty, 60mm macro and a 70-300. So I have quite a range to choose from.

Nice

I'm still working on building mine up, at present I have the stock lens EFS 18 - 55 IS and a Tamron 55 - 200 + the nifty 50 when it arrives
