[QUOTE="Offertonhatter, post: 376165, member: 34120"] The answer is - either. :D I always advocate having a nifty to any person just starting out with an SLR or DSLR after the kit lens. It does not matter which brand or whether it is a 1.4 or 1.8, it is the next step in the photographic journey. Plus they work beautifully on APS-C bodies as well as FF and film. They just show how good a cheap prime can be, and how much better than a kit lens. To give you an example I have ten 50/55mm lenses in Nikon-F mount, Pentax K-mount, M42 mount and even a 50mm F2.8 for my medium format. They are just brilliant to use and creative. Hope this helps. ;) [/QUOTE]
