If you never used prime before it is interesting prime to learn. Get used one under $100.
If you are interested in the prime which will serve you well in different situation and have better IQ compare to kit lens get Sigma 30 1.4.

Using a prime lens is a different sight compare with zooms,
I recommend you to get one to give it a try

Canon 40D
24-70 2.8L / 28 1.8 USM / 50 2.5 C.M. / 70-200 4L IS / 18-55 IS
