Query: Good lens for the price

For less then $150 you can't find a better deal for a lense. Being able to shoot without a flash is great in alot of situations and i was stunned at the sharp picture quality even when down at f1.8. I'd be looking at a room that looked sort of dark and the picture would come up and the room looked brighter then i thought the shot would come out like.One thing to note is that on my XSi body and the 1.6 crop factor it turns this from a 50mm to more like a 80mm. So taking shots of things close up requires you to step back a little bit which can sometimes be annoying. As a result i'm planning on also getting the 28mm f1.8 which will give me a little more wide angle.
