You just can't beat natural lighting. People can diffuse and redirect light all they want, an environment's natural light always looks best to me. It sucks you can't pick up a cheap 50mm film lens.

I gotta disagree with you there. There are so many cool tools you can get for really cheap including filters, remote shutters/locks, and even my 50mm lens falls into a great 'bang for buck' buy at $75.
I just bought another 50mm f/1.8 lens identical to my old one. It may not be the most sturdy lens, but its 4.6oz which is, by a pound and a half, the lightest lens you can buy(which is great for free handing shots) and its a fraction the price of "professional lenses" which only gets you half a stop aperture anyway and no (or negligible) improvement in image quality.
