If you get a prime lens, you'll be able to get your aperture/f-stop MUCH lower in number (ie, more "open", wider, more light coming in)...ie many go down to 1.4 or 1.8, which is a super fun aperture, great in low light! Also great for close-ups and/or where you're seeking good bokeh.

Me too - just love this lens! It has a cult following, that's for sure.
