I've recently bought a 50mm f/1.8 lens as an upgrade to my camera gear. I've not actually got around to using it yet for actual work but having a quick test with it, the results are lovely. Also, it's very SHARP!
Having such a fast lens means indoor shooting is particularly impressive (e.g. low light portraits/ gig photography). Additionally with such a wide achievable aperture, you can get quite creative using depth of field.
Here are a few examples testing out the lens:
