[QUOTE="TwistedThrottle, post: 746420, member: 46724"] Hi and welcome! It depends on what you plan on using it for and what lenses you have alreaedy. The 24-70 is a fantastic lens, but maybe a bit overkill for crop sensors if you are just looking for a portrait lens, its very expensive and quite heavy. The 50 f1.4g is a fraction of the price but only covers the one focal length, which is a pretty good one for a crop sensor camera. I purchased the 50 f1.8g and have been very pleased with the results, but I also have an 85 f1.8 that is also a great focal length on crop sensors for head shots and close ups. If you dont mind 3rd party glass, the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 paired with a 50 or 85 or both is quite the combo that covers more than the 24-70 and the 3 lenses combined still come in cheaper than the 24-70 alone.
