Hi - first post here.

I was wondering if anyone could give me some advice - I recently bought the Canon EOS 1000D with the 18-55mm lens with it - which is great but one of the things I really want to start doing is taking photos at gigs.

Most of the ones I will be doing will be in small venues, low level lighting and the like.

I have been advised to buy the Canon 50mm f1.8 mk 11 lens and was wondering if anyone had any experience of this with the 1000d - I dont really want to buy it if its not going to be right for the job and would welcome any recommendations/suggestions or pointers to previous threads regarding this - I have searched but not really come up with anything!

Thanks
