Which one is better nikon 50mm 1.8g or the 35 mm 1.8g ?

Depends whether you want a portrait lens (the 50mm on DX) or a normal lens (the 35mm on DX).

Which camera are you using? What are intending to shoot? You haven't given us enough info to respond.

I'm using the d3100 and i want it for portraits

Do you plan to do portraits of a single subject or with groups?

 

[Cristian_soria]

Single subject

Do you have a zoom lens now? If so, I suggest you try using it a few times for portraits. Remember to stand back about six feet (don't stand too close - it causes perspective distortion).

Then which zoom value seems to work for you? If it is a DX (cropped frame) camera, I suggest you will find about 70mm pretty nice. Then ask, why do you need another lens?

Good point ^^^
NAS maybe?

Get the 50mm anyway. You are always going to need one.

Maybe you don't need another lens, but do you want another lens?

The 50mm on a DX camera is a great portrait lens and it is tack sharp and quite fast at low light. The 35mm is just as good but not quite the length for portraits. It is a better all around/every day lens or for group portraits.

Zoom lenses are great but the prime lens is a lot nicer image quality.

Re: Help please

I am going to combine this with your other thread since they are basically the same question.

Come on Cristian, we already answered your question. What would be the most comfortable shoes to walk in London?
Brown ones or Black ones...

Seriously, a 35mm lens would be the best walk around lens. The 50 the best portrait lens.

Now YOU alone will buy the lens, don't expect me to walk with you to the store to get it.
