Its not wide, its not long enough for real portraits. Its a great lens, and damn cheap, but I hardly use it as its not in the range I ever want

i agree and disagree.
35mm f2 is a must have if u can find one (works out to a proper 50mm FOV on 1.6) . 85mm 1.8 is also a must have (LOVE mine, think 135 on 1.6)
a 50mm on a 1.6x is basically a poor mans 85. my gf LOVES using my 85 1.8 on her 5D, so i in turn will steal her 50 1.2 for my 40D to get similar results (in FOV anyway!)
personally, i find 50mm more boring on FF than 1.6! YMMV!
