Thats basically it but this is the exact link from my orders.
I don't have enough experience with different lenses to give too much of an in depth review of it. However, from reading other people's reviews the biggest complaint is that the aperture ring doesn't click in place. My biggest issue is that the focus ring some times slips off track and the lens is definitely the sharpest in the center of the picture vs anywhere else. With that said though for ~$30 none of that bothers me.
And to answer your final question the only thing i did in photoshop was slightly (very slightly) adjust the curves and exposure. Everything else you see is the lens.
Since this seems to be of much interest to you though here is the unedited (read original jpeg) picture for you to check out.
50mm f/1.8

I really love this lens. It takes fantastically sharp pictures and has a wonderfully shallow DOF. You have to be rather far away though to capture entire cars within the frame so it can be a pain in the ass for shooting car meets or shows where lots of people are present and cars are packed in close together. For situations like that, I'd recommend this:
24mm f/2.8

Would you be able to give me a specific product name or link? I'm very new to this stuff!
Is it anything like this? This is what I found when I search LED Light Stick on Amazon.com

30$ waddafuq? is this it? I have a the nex-5 and am looking for a portrait-ish lens with okay depth of field. Does the lens actually feel that cheap when you use it?
Edit: I guess follow up question is the blur actually from the lens or done in photoshop?
You can use a $30 LED light and light paint the car. Here's an example of with and without the LED light. I'm extremely happy with the results and for only $30 I consider it a no brainer.
That LED video lamp trick worked really well! I'm going to have to give that a shot. Which one do you have? I use this:

Thanks
You mean one of these things? when is the right time to use it?
Buy one of THESE, then run around the bike doing a long exposure. It's called lightpainting.
