There is a reason the call it the nifty fifty.  If you have invested in a digital SLR camera and currently only use the kit lens, you should check out the 50mm f1.4.  Depending on the brand of your camera, Canon and Nikon both make a great 50mm lens.

If you ask most professional photographers they will all have a 50mm prime lens in their bag!   It’s great in low light and the focal length is great for portraits.  It’s fast enough for sports and is bright enough for indoor sports.  It is reasonably priced from $300 – $400 depending on the store and the brand of lens.    If that is out of your price range, check out the 50mm f1.8 which can be purchased for less than $100!
