[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 354099, member: 24753"] Depends on the style of portraits and how close you like to shoot, head shots, bust shots, 3/4, full body and/or group. The 35mm would be more flexible giving the larger field of view, because the 50mm view is in the middle of every 35mm shot. But the reverse is, if the 50mm view is the one you need, you lose sharpness by post cropping the 35mm shot. Beyond portraits, either would work, but you have the same pre-crop vs post-crop situation. So, if you can always move to frame the subject, either, but if not, maybe you need both. [/QUOTE]
