Canon - Lens (EF 50 mm. f/1.8 II Standard/Medium Telephoto Lens) for Canon Cameras — 

I have upgraded throughout the years to more expensive lens but this is a great starter lens for folks just getting into photography. I bought this lens as my first prime lens and it gave me more creative freedom compared to the kit lens that came with my dslr.

It allows a relative beginner to learn how to appreciate depth of field, low light performance, and a faster shutter (e.g. compared to entry level kit lenses). For close to $400 is the next upgrade to the 50mm f1.4 so I think a f1.8 is a great starting point.

Although it does seem relatively flimsy but again it is more than good enough for entry and mid-level use.
