Lol. 50mm 1.8, nifty fifty, saves money by having fewer aperture blades, of course there is the canon 50mm f1.4, canon 50mm f1.2, canon 50mm 2.5 macro. More money if ya wanna spend it, more blades.
Honestly, I had no preference for canon over nikon, although they got me early with the digital rebel which was darn affordable at first... Now they have me speaking canonese, understanding the canon lens lexicon, it's too much mental space to understand the nikon landscape too.
