Dave, one of my students, has just bought his first SLR. An EOS 450D. He'd mentioned on Facebook that he was considering new lenses so I had to recomment the Canon 50mm f1.8 which I got as a cheap backup lens and has almost never left my camera since.

I took a quick shot to demonstrate for him, so if you spot this on Facebook here's the result. I'm sure if you cehck the comments you'll find others singing the praises of a fantastic value lens.
