[QUOTE="Sashina, post: 521272, member: 41067"] Thanks Don and Danno, and good to hear your update (of sorts!) Schnick I've just looked in Lightroom and done a short analysis of focal lengths since I got the only lens I now own (18-200, used on a DX body) and it looks like I take about 15% at 18mm, 15% at 200m and the rest fairly evenly spread in between, with the heaviest weighting around the wider end... but still very well spread! What this doesn't tell you is that of my 5 star images, the weighting is towards the 200 end, and many of my favourite images - and the style I'd like to explore more - have involved heavy cropping anyway. I'm not looking to replace my zoon with a 50mm. In fact, I want to use the 50mm for its wider aperture and good bokeh... More of a controlled 'studio' setting working on little projects (still lifes, food, interio details... like my [URL="https://www.flickr.com/photos/sashina_x/albums/72157662545103560"]Christmas images[/URL])... rather than somewhere where I may want or need the zoom capacity. Make sense I think I'm ready to buy the 50mm... ... and I might just get the 35mm as well since they're both relatively cheap.:) Update as of today: Shame many places are [I]out of stock of both [/I]right now! Cheers Sashina [/QUOTE]
