>>217107 Yep, instead. Most great photographers have only used a handful of lenses, most of them primes (lenses that don't zoom).
Besides being higher quality (zoom has to be built to be okay at every length, prime can be built ideal for just one) primes teach you how to compose better. After a while using the same lens, you'll be able to imagine what a picture would look like with it in advance.
If you ever actually need a zoom for some reason, or a longer lens, you've got that zoom you have now, a 28-90 I'm going to guess. That's what Canon's film kit lens is, isn't it?
But yeah, the 28/2.8 and 50/1.8 are both a great value, financially and photographically, and the only thing you could really miss would be a wide angle, something like a 20mm, and if you ever really need that you can just pop the 28 on your film camera.
