[QUOTE="MeSess, post: 295569, member: 21237"] Factoring in the DX crop on the D3200 the focal length of the 40mm is about 60mm while the 50mm is 75mm so yes there is a considerable difference in those lenses. A lot of people prefer the 35 1.8 because of this. It comes out to about 52mm when factoring in the DX crop, which many feel is a more useful focal length especially when indoors. You can test this with your 18-55 by zooming to each of the focal lengths and looking at the difference. I personally have the 35mm 1.8 and the D3200 and I love it so far. Imagine the 35mm focal length of your 18-55mm but with the ability to use an aperture of f1.8. That makes for much better bokeh and also much better performance in lowlight. It also tends to be sharper than the 18-55 especially at larger apertures. [/QUOTE]
