[QUOTE="nightWolf, post: 26450, member: 6657"] Hi Stlfreeride, Like you, i was also looking for my first lens - and was deliberating between a prime and a zoom. I went with the 35mm 1.8 and it is great. The bokeh and sharpness is amazing, however, it's taking me time to learn to shoot with it and learn what's the best setting for the environment i'm taking shots. With no VR, anything slower than 1/30 shutter speed, will cause some blur - well at least in my case! I might not have steady hands! Not having a tripod yet, i find that bumping up the ISO and maxing the aperture, i can get away with decent shutter speeds. It's a great lens, look all over the net for raving reviews. I'm having fun with it. Now i need a zoom lens for travel, but i think that's only next year when i have some more money! PS. check the flickr group "AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G" for images....
