Message: <blockquote data-quote="§am" data-source="post: 75435" data-attributes="member: 9187">After much debate and hunting around and waiting for the right prices, and finally going into my local Jessops (photo shop) and having a play with both lenses, I opted for the 50mm 1.8GThe 35mm was/is a very good lens and produced some great pics, but for me what clinched it was the 50mm seemed a little sharper, and I didn't feel as if I'd be in people's faces when I needed to get up close (though 15cm min focus distance between the two is not all that much).Additionally, the 50mm is a FX lens whereas the 35mm is a DX lens.  For future proofing, I would prefer to invest in FX equipment so that when I get a little more professional and can afford a FX body, I won't be stuck with a huge amount of DX lenses.</blockquote>
