You don't understand how it works. Anyway... You can take some people out of off-topic, but you can't take the off-topic out of some people...

Don't stick her with only a prime. If she's interested in photography, being limited to a single focal length is the best way lose that interest. Get her a zoom. Flexibility. The 17-50 is ok but an ...
