Or a 50mm? Although the lenses shown are Canon EF, the logic applies just the same. Though it will depend on if you're shooting a crop sensor (APS-C) camera or full frame. Keep that in mind.

Choosing your first prime lens is like choosing your first love, we all know how that feels when you make the wrong choice. So which lens should you buy?
