If you really have the budget or if you could save up a bit, go all the way to Sony's 50mm f/1.4. Search around and you might find someone selling their unit. It is highly recommended.
hi alucard_my,thanks for the info. thats what annoying me
whether save 1st or just go for F1.8

i suggest if u have enuff budget for the SAL50 f1.4, better get a flash (HVL F42) and pair with the 50mm f/1.8. can do more stuff with them

. but if don have limitation in budget then get the Sigma 50mm f/1.4

get something which u NEED and if have extra $€¥ get the things u WANT. the 50mm f1.8 is more than enuff for me. but last time i didnt consider and just buy, i end up selling it bcoz dont like the range/wideness. play2 wiyh ur kitlens first and only figure out ur desired focal range (24mm/28mm/35mm/50mm/85mm/etc)

SAL50 f1.4 = 50mm f/1.8 + HVL F42 (the price)
yea have to think twice or even more
btw, i wonder what is the 2nd lense normally people will go after kit lense? is it 50mm?
besides, you mentioned the flash. i wonder what can HVL-F20AM do? is it better than the internal flash?
bcoz im going to help my fren on shooting his wedding dinner, and i've consult a seller about it and the boss told me that at least HVL-F42AM can do
so can i just use internal flash?
PS: i've bought my A550 for about 3 months ++ and i rarely use the flash, just play ard the ISO or exposure...
thanks for consutation and sorry if too much questions
