[QUOTE="Brandonberg, post: 202717, member: 13386"] I bought the [B]DX [/B]35mm 1.8G about two weeks ago and it's great. I did the same thing and left my 18-55 on 35mm for a week to see how i liked it. Bear in mind that if you are using the D5100 that your profile suggests that you consider DX and non-DX lenses. From what I'm led to believe if you put a standard 50mm 1.8G on a DX body your field of view would be similar to that which is 75mm on a DX lens/body. If you are wanting AF-S i believe these are the lenses that Nikon offer; AF-S [B]DX[/B] 35mm f/1.8G (~35mm equiv FOV) AF-S 35mm f/1.4G (~50mm equiv FOV) AF-S 50mm f/1.8G (~75mm equiv FOV) AF-S 50mm F/1.4G (~75mm equiv FOV) I went with the DX 35mm 1.8G primarily because i have a DX body, which is approx 50mm on a full frame. I'm sorry if I'm talking about something that you already know. I nearly bought the wrong lens due to not understanding nomenclature and don't want anybody else to do the same. I'm no expert on the subject so perhaps somebody with with more lens expertise weigh in on this for me and correct me if needed? [/QUOTE]
