OMG OMG OMG! just got a 50mm f 1.8...

Here in canada we can get them for about 120 a pop. Im actually thinking of picking one up to acompany my 18-55 kit lens. Considering it has such wide aperture opening, would this be good for some celestial shots, question mark. (sorry my keyboard went all french one me and does not want to change). I am too broke to pick up 70-200 mm ( i think thats it) for some of thouse shots. Unless someone can recomend something for cheap thats has good quality. ( sorry for a thread jack)

I live in New Brunswick. I got mine for $129. Not sure why but the exact same lens is available for $99. in the states... The exchange rate is nearly even right now... I hate economics.

Indeed I do too. I think im going up to states for reading week here in february so i might just hold off and pick one up there. Brand new here i found on kijiji for 120, so i also might look into that.

Its unreal how shallow the DOF is with the 50mm. I'm gonna take some shots today around f/4
