[QUOTE="trembl27, post: 29224, member: 7295"] Thanks for the advice again. I did not know the 35mm was better at DOF/Bokeh. Right now, the 50mm is very good according to my standard. I just need to get used to taking the picture from further away! However, I'm starting to experiment with it and I agree that it's a head/shoulder lens. Tried to photograph our "new" bedroom that we have just finished redecorating and let's say I swapped back to my 18-55mm. Right now, I'm trying to sort what will be my next purchase. The 50mm is really great, I got my 18-55mm that is good, too, for indoor and all around. Needs in no particular order : New body, Wide-Angle, telephoto, all-around lens for traveling "light". I think I'm set for my "portrait" lens with my 50mm and I don't plan on buying an 85mm f1.4 at $1500. If budget was no problem, I guess I would go for D7000, 10-24mm, 70-300mm, 18-200mm . I need to find out if a "lower end" model would be plenty for me and in what order I want to continue. (NAS infected). I just looked at my credit card redeem points total and I have $1000 in gift certificate waiting to be used. So I guess I could go for any of them pretty soon or more depending on used/lower end lens availability. I don't think I'll carry a bag in Italy as I'll be going with my 2 young kids ( 6 and 2 years old ) and I'll keep it simple. Feel free to keep giving the advice! Really helps sorting all my thoughts. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
