The 50mm lens is still wider though, so could have more lens distortion to clean up in post, but like Pretzel said it's easy enough to do in Lightroom. I shot the 85mm/1.8 for the first time two weeks ago indoors for some indoor portraits and was really amazed at how far away I had to get for full-body shots. Going back and looking at the images I've taken with the 24-120mm/4 on the D7100, I'm usually closer up than that...somewhere between 50 and 85mm.</blockquote>
