Everything... you will anyway - I was like a kid in a candy store when I got mine - it's on now, I'm shooting a kids indoor birthday party later this afternoon... lol
Cheers,

It arrived this morning, and my first subject was predictable...my dog!
I am in love with the lens already, I have never owned one as fast as this and I am loving the bokeh.

Hi,
Could you show us some examples? Because, i'm going to buy it so I would like to see before just in case if I change my mind but I don't think so...

I will upload my first shot and one of my daughter, as soon as I get a moment. Based on the five or six shots I have taken so far it is great. I took a couple of unplanned shots of my daughter indoors with no lights on and no flash and the pics are well exposed with a nice, smooth blur in the background.

The first of the little girl was taken indoors with only window light.
The second is a very dull subject but shows the bokeh quite nicely

Sorry, Fred I can't seem to attach the files I will try again...
Figured it out, I have reduced pic size and saved at a lower jpeg quality to bring the file sizes right down.

Do it! It is great to have a lens that is decent in low light and can produce a smooth blur. As has been said it is plastic, but compared to the new kit lenses it feels well made.

I have that 50mm 1.8 lens also. I tend to use that the most for indoor shots. I found that it's sharpest between 2.8 and 3.8 depending on lighting.
It doesn't have a USM in it but I love the sound of the lens focusing. If we could only find a way of getting digi slr's to make that film advance sound!!!
