On Saturday, Luke and I went to the Blackbird markets in Fitzroy. I kinda missed the bokeh my 50mm 1.8 lens had, so I whipped it out once again. The limits were quite painful, though.. especially when taking photos of food. Does anyone know of a lens which has the bokeh of the 50mm with the flexibility of a kit lens? (18-55mm)

Jeannine these photos are so pretty!
I probably shouldn't went with you guys to blackbird market.
Beautiful photos as usual! Especally love numer 2!
I have no idea about your question about the lens, but keep me updated about it! I'm looking for one too :)
no zooms exist with a 1.8 aperture so technically, only primes (eg 35 1.4L, 24 1.4L, 28 1.8L, sigma 301.4) can get you the same dof. as for bokeh, it's determined by design and # of aperture blades. the 50mm canon's are hailed as nearly L professional quality, despite price, so few lenses can match price-quality. you'd have to look at samples or try out different lenses at a store to see if it's acceptable blur.
btw, since you have a cropped sensor camera, your 50mm is not the equivalent as your film SLR 50mm (its like 1.6x crop factor) which is why you might feel more restricted now; it's more like an 80mm prime compared to what 35mm film shooters used. that's because manufacturers screwed the public and only make full frame bodies for semi-pro prices 2k+
Great photos, you make me miss melbourne so much!
woops i meant I should have went to the market with you guys.
