[QUOTE="marce, post: 131120, member: 10684"] Forgot, I also have the Tamron 60mm, that and the 35mm may be a choice to look at, with the 55-300 to cover other ranges. The Tamron is good for portraits, this is hand held, on camera flash. [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/england78/8504239353/"]Eye#1.jpg | Flickr - Photo Sharing![/URL] I like the combination of 35 and 50/60mm as I have a BIG family, and one of my reasons for getting back into photography was to get pictures of everyone, and between those two lenses I can cover all the shots from group to head and shoulders. I personally prefer primes to zooms, mainly because I have to stop and think about the shot, my position and the model(s). And you do have some zoom control, the tripod shuffle:). I only got the 35mm a month ago, it hasn't been of my camera since I first put it on. I find the field of view, sharpness and versatility of this lens a great joy to work with. I understand now why a 50mm on a full frame has always been a popular choice. As you have the kit lens, set it to each focal length for a couple of days and shoot a variety of subjects (no zooming, just fixed at either 35 or 50) and see which one you find the best (a week at each one would be better). The 55-300 covers all my other requirements and having a zoom for telephoto I do find indispensable, as often I am limited from where I can shoot, or don't want to scare the subject if doing wildlife, so I can use the zoom to frame. Have fun, and let us know what you decide. [/QUOTE]
