[QUOTE="bluenoser, post: 46833, member: 6351"] Hi Jessica. I've provided some comments below based on your original post: That's baloney. More baloney. The 35 is perhaps better for a group shot (still far from ideal) but the 35 would be perfectly fine for single person shots. The 50mm on a crop sensor would be somewhat better for portraits but certainly nothing to "freak out" about. :) Breathe deeply...no more freak outs please. :) Well my opinion is that since you liked the 50mm on the Canon crop sensor that you'll still like it on the Nikon D5100. However, I personally think 35mm lens to be a better choice for a crop sensor as I found the 50mm focal length on DX to be in sort of no-mans land - not short enough when you need it and not long enough when you need it. I would recommend getting the 35 1.8 and then adding an 85mm lens down the road. Just my opinion of course. :) [/QUOTE]
