[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 357083, member: 12496"] Among other lenses, I have the 50mm f/1.8 and a 60mm macro lens. Not quite the question, but my observation is: 40mm, 50mm, and 60mm are all somewhat telephoto on DX. Indoors, shorter wide angle is popular. Many zooms will substitute for a 50mm lens (many include 50mm field of view). ISO will substitute for f/1.8 light gathering (today, not so true in film days). A telephoto will substitute for background defocus of f/1.8. maybe better. But nothing substitutes for a macro lens, to focus close on so many things. Frankly, I rarely consider using my 50mm f/1.8.
