This is a no brainer. This lens will come in handy in situations where light is not available. This lens captures great detail at good contrast.
When looking at my pictures of rock drawings in Norway, it was quite clear what photo's had been made with the 50/1.8 AFD, what photo's had been made with the Nikkor 18-35 and what photo's with the standard 28-80 kit lens. As a matter of fact, the kit lens photo's were (in comparison) so disappointing, that me and my gf will trade it in for a quality standard zoom, like the sigma of Tamron 24-135

This lens is dirt-cheap, very lightstrong (very bright viewfinder view) and focuses fast and secure. Do not expect a full-metal bodied lens for this money, but even if you drop this lens, the worst thing that can happen is € 75 of damage.
