I intend to save up for a macro lens but in the meantime would like to get some nice shots of bugs too. For this I'm assuming the 50mm would edge out the 35mm in terms of not having to get as close to butterflies which are likely to fly off. Again I could use my 55-200mm for these but I want the sharpest image possible. I've considered the 40mm "micro" but I'm doubtful its as sharp as either the 35 or 50 and not an ideal macro lens for things that are going to jump or fly away.  Thanks for your patience, I should really just get to a good camera shop and try them out.</p></blockquote><p></p>
