I promised myself with birthday money, and then with Christmas money, but my wife seems to find other things for me to spend it on...I am swayed to the 35mm option, as Don explains. It's harder to get those good portait photos at 50mm fixed than it is at 35mm. Although the DOF on a 50mm at 1.8/f will make your subject stand out more, it'd be much more difficult to get them framed properly at this length.At the moment, I'm still shooting primarily with my 55-300mm lens at the 55mm end of it (with 3.5/f, it gives better bokeh than my 18-55mm at the top end of the lens).</blockquote>
