:agree: 100%
You will use the 50 many, many, many, many more times than the LB.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

well i havent used the lensbaby but from what i know you cant get a "normal" picture frome it. So unless you always want that look get the 50mm. I currently own the 50mm and it's a good lens.

Thanks everyone. I'll stick with my original plan to buy the 50mm and maybe down the road I'll buy a lensbaby to play with.

Lensbaby is Ok for special effects and messing about. But a 50mm will be a lot sharper and better for taking serious photos.
