		| | I can't believe how much sharper it is over the kit lens...  I'm sure we'll both love it!

		| | So if one was to buy a Rebel, one should get the 50mm f1.8 and body instead of kit lens/w body? |

		| | The 50mm is fun! And a prime will frequently be sharper than a zoom. I need to post a couple of my 50mm shots.

 the kit lens is a zoom so it's got more stuff it can do.  The 50mm is a prime lens.  For a lot of situations having a zoom is more convinient than a prime.

		| | Is this the 50mm f1.8 'I' or 'II'?  I just order a used 'I' to have the metal mount.

		| | 50mm 1.8 and 1.4 are badass.  Amazing how "hand holdable" they are indoors.
