Got a Canon 1000d for £65 delivered from a friend of a friend. Boggo 18-55mm kit lens.

"Err 01": clean contacts between body and lens.

Since the error happens below about 35mm, never at 55mm, there's probably a nick in the ribbon cable inside the lens.

Where's good for a used EFS 50mm prime?

Here, or eBay?

Dunno, never bought a lens before!

Just a tip. Theres a canon 50mm mk1 prime, it is the good quality version of the more common mk2. The mk2 is all cheapo plastic but does the job pretty well. So find the mk1 if you can

eBay gumtree photographic shops etc

The 50mm 1.4 is worth a look too if you want to spend a bit more.

If you need a mobility scooter might as well have a fuck off Harley stylee innit !

Did some research...

1000D is an APS-C sensor, EFS lens. Canon's EFS Primes are 24mm or 60mm.

APS-C bodies do take EF lenses, but 1.6x crop applies, so 50mm effectively becomes 80mm. So if I'm looking at EF primes, I'll need something like a 28mm or 35mm EF Prime, which would become 45mm and 56mm respectively.

Guy at work says "don't spend too much, nice lens on a cheap body probably doesn't look as good as the kitlens that comes with a nicer body for the same total price."

Not true regarding the nice lens cheap body quote. Most lens have issues at the edges (the more expensive the sharper they are at the edges usually). One of the main reasons to prefer full frame is the bokeh from a 28mm is naturally much less than a 35 for the same aperture and you end up using 28 for 35 on APS-C so get less bokeh.
