Hey, so I have owned an eos 1000D for 6 months now, however am upgrading to a Canon 60D.

I was originally planning on selling my 1000D body only, and keeping the 2 ef-s 18-55 and 80-300mm lenses for my new camera, my friend however wants to buy my old camera with the lenses.

I started to look into what other cheap lenses I could get, and one that struck me was the EF 50mm f/1.8 II Autofocus Lens
which costs a mere 110 dollars

What is the quality difference between my current ef-s lens and this one ^^

the only differences I can spot ( I know very little about lenses at the moment)

is that my old lens has a smaller minimal focus lnegth at 28 cm's whilst the 50 mm lens has one at 45 cm's
the 50 mm lens however has a lower minimum aperture of 1.8 opposed to 3.5

any help is appreciated, in terms of suggesting other budget lenses, or convincing me as to why I should spend more on a lens.
