If you are on a tight budget, and still want a 50 mm, then get an older one and if your camera cannot focus (like a D lens), well manual focus, or better yet go old school and buy an old manual Prime, and if you are on low budget get a 50 mm 1.8 Series E lens (around 30-50 dollars). Yes, manual focus, and your camera may not meter (which then is educated guess, tune in with historygram). when you are shooting primes, then really its the lens for the occasion/look. Wide angle will have a different look then a short tele versus full tele. Yes, one can have one zoom lens (18-200) or even now the 18-300 and almost have it all, well except more distortion, typically slower, and such, or you can shoot primes and have to carry more then one lens in your pockets.</blockquote>
