Srsly, that's the only way to do it.
I wish I would have just bought a 18-200 VR instead of the 55-200VR. I'm picking up a 35mm soon, which should be rockin for just about everything with movement.
I'd do a 50mm before a 35mm. 50mm is pretty much what you see with the naked eye is what the lens gets.
My main go tos are 11-16 tonika, 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.8
For cars/bikes I mostly shoot with the 11-16 for basic walking around shoot I use the 85mm for indoor shooting I use the 50mm
In order to get a zoom lens with the quality the $300-400 50mm and 85mm packs you'd have to spend well over a grand. Even then you'd still have maybe a 2.8. =( I love being able to shoot in low light, I bet the baby picture posted by B16 would have looked ok even with no added light if he had a 1.8 or 1.4 lens.
Zoom lenses are over rated unless you're shooting a game or people/wild life from far away. use an 85mm lens and crop the picture.

Almost every picture in that album was taken with the 85mm
chow fun and Cantonese style chow mein FTW
The first dish is actually Thai, Pad See Ew, but definitely has a hint of Chinese in the dish. Both were quite delicious;
Here are some pictures from my recent trip to San Francisco. I don't own an SLR but am looking to get one before I go to Tokyo/Hong Kong in March.
When were you there? I was in San Francisco December 26-January 4th.
I've got pictures, but they were taken with my girlfriends Rebel... I was pretty unfamiliar with it. I should upload a few
When the ISO is too high..nice... a little grainy .. but thats what happens w/ night shots
I'm sure a 50mm f1.2 can get the light pretty well.... i generally dont take night shots... why you ask? well, because i suck at them.. i can only do it if i have my tripod
