[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 492373, member: 15805"] 50mm are generally the sharpest, highest-IQ lenses you can get. They aren't called 'nifty fifity's' for nuttin'. It will also be a 'faster' lens, meaning you'll have a nice bright viewfinder to look at, be able to shoot in lower light and your AF will have fewer problems in low light. When shooting wide open, you can command razor-thin DOF. 50 primes are über-light and über-small. Perfect for when size & weight are a primary consideration. And primes are generally better when it comes to all the optical compromises that are inflicted on your lenses.... less flare, distortion, chromatic abberations, et al. A 50 should be in everyone's bag. [/QUOTE]
