At 50mm or higher, you can get nice results for not much money. You should still be able to find an inexpensive 50mm f1.8, the standard kit lens on millions of SLR's from 1970-1990.

I wonder how many of those will be as sharp as the 45mm f1.8 when used wide open? Certainly my old Pentax 50mm is not.
