So i bought these:

Canon EF 50mm Prime F/1.8
Canon EF-s 10-22mm F/3.5-5.6 USM

for a total cost of about £500. the EF 50mm is the nicest lens ever. at F.18 i can handhold shots at night in my street without flash at iso400 and comes out really swish. the ef-s 10-22 hasnt come yet, but will solve my wide angle problem and allow for some interesting perspectives (its equivalent to 16mm+ with the 1.6x crop).

so should be some interesting pictures soon heh.
