Hi everyone.

Recently got a 350D and really loving photography. Just using the kit lens at the mo but looking to invest in somthing for live music pics. The 50mm 1.4 has been recomended to me, any thoughts???

Welcome!

The 50mm 1.4 should do you nicely. The 1.8 is almost as good but you lose 2/3rds of a stop. Depends which you can afford!

Hi and Welcome.

I think you wil find many people on here go on about the nifty fifty and its relative price. Its certainly one of the best lens Canon produce for the price its targetted at.

As Joe said, it really depends on whether you want extreme low light and the cost that goes with that.

Hi There
I have a 350D and bought the 50mm f1.8 as I couldn't quite manage the cost of the 1.4. Very happy with it though; used it for a gig (for the first time) a few weeks ago.

Hello

I can recommend the 50mm f1.8 it's an excellent low light portrait lens for it's price. The f1.4 is around 4 times the price, so it depends on your budget really.
