[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 492380, member: 13090"] Well it's not "necessary" in that you already have the 50mm focal length covered. I don't know if you'll benefit from one or not because I don't know how you shoot or how you feel about your photography. I can tell you I like prime lenses because they change how I need to do things when I'm shooting; they involve me more in the process. They make me move more and think more and experiment more with different angles and perspectives. That they also tend to be fantastically sharp, fast-shooting and light, are all just icing on the cake for me. I will also say that I prefer the 35mm focal length over the 50mm on a DX body because, obviously, it's a bit wider which is nice when shooting indoors.
