Which would be the better option? The kit lens comes with a 18-135mm IS lens (I heard kit lens aren't that great) and the Canon 50mm f1.4 I heard is a pretty good prime lens. What are the pros and cons? What's so great about a Prime lens? Is it really worth it? I heard Prime lens have better quality, larger aperture which creates in interesting DOF, bokeh, and lets more light in. It's also relatively cheaper than zoom lens, I saw it for $399 at Best Buy... Are these features correct? Thanks.
