The Nifty Fifty!

I don't have much experience with camera lenses but I think the canon 50mm 1.8 lens is the best bang for the buck! You cannot go wrong with this lens at $80! It is a prime lens so that means that you lose the ability to zoom. However, this is a perfect portrait lens. I swear, this lens make any amateur look like they've been taking photos for years. It feels cheap and small compared to others but don't let that fool you. The picture quality on this bad boy is amazing. I guess that's why people call this lens the "Nifty Fifty." I highly recommend it if you're looking to add to your collection.
