Though you have both 35mm and 50mm in the kit lense, there are quite a lot of differences.. Prime is F1.8, so you can shoot in lower light and/or at lower ISO.. The prime focuses faster.. The prime is much smaller than the kit lens.I was used to manual focus, so that was not much of a problem for me. With newer DSLR, I find MF much faster. You just use the view finder to get a sharp image and then use the "Range Finder" to fine tune it. At close distances I find MF much more accurate than the AF.I say, get the 35mm AF-S. Here in India there was a major sale of the 35mm F1.8 AF-S and the price slipped from around $250/ to $135/ and that is when I got it.</blockquote>
