What you guys suggest ? My main purpose is to shot portrait of kids and family on holidays,wedding ( night mainly) , Kindly suggest , Does Sigma or Tamron has good wide aperture lens for 350D ?

The 50mm f1.8 (nifty fifty plastic fantastic) used to be the recommended first fast prime, but I think the EF 35mm f2 IS is now the better choice. That is especially true for 1.6 crop cameras, and since the price came down significantly from introduction.

Better build, sharper, and IS justify to higher price compared to the nifty fifty, IMO.
