This fantastic prime lens is an excellent addition to your current lens lineup. With a 50mm focal length and F1.8 aperture, it's perfectly suited for portraiture. A 50mm lens also tends to be close to the human eye in terms of magnification factor, making it ideal for casual and street photography. The large max aperture also lends it to lower-light situations better than the standard kit lens, which might max out at F4 or F5.6.
At the entry level of photo gear, this lens will do what you ask of it, delivering sharp images and helping you save both space and money for filling up the rest of your camera bag.
