Thanks for the advice. I went with the 50mm 1.8f mostly because of the price. I'll mess around with that for a while (since I never had a zoom with my film camera). Then I might nab a newer zoom lens.

Have fun with it! But as you'll notice the 50mm lens on your 450D is actually the equivalent to an 80mm lens on a film camera (1.6 crop factor). This is not a problem per se - many people use such a lens exclusively - but it does make indoor casual pictures a challenge sometimes.

If you want something wider, my other two recommendations would be suitable.

Yongnou is also working on a 'clone' of the EF 35mm f2.0 which is due out soon, it should be quite cheap: http://www.ephotozine.com/article/yongnuo-35mm-f-2-0-ef-mount-lens-announced-26747

That would be the closest thing to a 50mm on film.
