I love 50/1.2. it brings out the artistic and creative side of me whenever I put it on.

The 28/1.8 isn't a bad lens. It doesn't get a lot of respect, and it's an old design, but I love it for low light shots indoors.

Sample shot:
20D, 1/15s@f/1.8, ISO 1600 (no sharpening applied)

What camera bag/s do you guys use? I need a small bag that can fit a gripped body and 2/3 lenses. Pictures of your camera bags would be great too. I have looked and crumpler and lowepro, but are there other brands I should consider?

Think Tank Photo Urban Disguise. And an ancient army medic bag.

I have a Lowepro Slingshot 200AW, and am well pleased with it.
Easy camera access, as you just slide the bag over to your front and open the zipper. Fit camera with lens, some 2-3 more lenses, and some accessories (charger, CF cards, wipe, ...).

@krmathis nice kit. That bag would be perfect but I always carry a backpack.

@overlordxenu do you have any pictures of that army medic bag?

 

[OverlordXenu]

I don't have a DSLR on me, but I'll take some crappy pics later.

Seems like one of us misunderstood.
The 200AW is a backpack (see here). But now it seems like you want a bag to pack inside your regular backpack.

Oh know. I wanted a messenger style pack that would be convenient to carry when I have a backpack. I got a good deal on a new crumpler 5mdh which is decent for my walk around kit. 5d + 50mm 1.8 + 500mm reflex.

50mm 1.8, iso 400
My favorite model.

I have a 6MDH and I stopped using it because my bag just got too heavy and it was putting a strain on my one shoulder. =[

If I only knew earlier, as now it rains too much to leave the house...
