....no! Not the beginning of a help wanted ad. Although, I do need some help/advice. I have like, no budget. I was going to sell my XTi and my only 2 lenses but then thought, just invest into some lenses. I have the kit lens and a quantaray 55-200mm zoom. Which is ok, JUST ok. I do ok with photography as a freelancer/hobbyist. I want to go further and shoot more than i do. I don't go out and shoot because I'm in a rut. Some have said get a prime with a shorter focal length to get up and close and see creatively instead of standing miles (exagerration) away and not studying your subject. Go out and shoot whats in front of you not yards away. shoot from where you are and walk yards away and snap away from here to there. I believe that's sound advice. I've read that the Canon 1.8 50mm II prime is an excellent lens and a low price. Build sucks but puts out some nice shots. I know that you get what you pay for, but from looking at sample shots, it doesn't have that bad of glass. Anyone here have it or used it and can give any insight? Any help would be appreciated.
