    NIfty 50. It's very middle of the road lens. If it's all you can afford or need a 50 now, go for it, but would save for better if you can.

    Great beginner general purpose lens that can get all the way down to an effective f/1.2 if using a speedbooster/focal reducer. Solid buy but feels cheap and the focus ring sucks.
