(It's good for head shots and tele). You need a walk around first, then you can think of the 70-200 or a prime lens if you have a particular need (like the onstage photography discussed earlier). For a crop-sensor, I'd really look hard at 35mm rather than 50mm, unless you really need a short portrait-style lens. 35mm on a crop-sensor is closer to what most consider a "normal" lens.

+1 Exactly!
(hence my previous post about looking at 35mm f1.4, instead of 50mm, which I usually just borrow my friend's 50 f1.4 anyway)
Oh, Udub, I just want to add that, the insert I recommend, I can put and I carry these daily for my gear.
This insert will fit my
50D with 17-55mm f2.8 lens
70-200mm f4 IS
580EXII
a CPL.
I highly recommend.
