[QUOTE="Elliot87, post: 307225, member: 25183"] I'm interested in getting a prime lens but I'm really not sure which is the best option. I will be mostly shooting wildlife photography and have a 55-200mm to help me get a little closer but I want a good everyday lens which will give me sharper images and potentially allow me to take close up shots of butterflies etc. maybe even macro. So far I've looked at these: Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 35mm f/1.8G Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G (or just the AF version). Nikon AF-S DX Micro Nikkor 40mm f/2.8G I'm really interested to hear what peoples thoughts are on these lenses, their pros and cons verses one another and which is best for what I'll be using it for. Also I'd be interested to hear of other lenses out there which might be a better first prime. I'm not made of money so lower end price range (under £200) is mostly what I'm looking out but I do have patience and saving ability, if waiting and paying a bit more is worth it. One final related question regarding macro. How would say the 50mm with extension tubes, or reversed compare for macro with the 40mm micro lens? Thanks Elliot [/QUOTE]
