The 35mm is good for just about everything but is definitely my go-to lens for shooting indoors. It's so light and easy to work with you forget it's there and the image quality is stunning. The 85mm was, at first, a bit difficult for me to work with because there was more magnification than I think I was expecting. But, as I typically do, I put the lens on my camera and forced myself to shoot with only that lens until I felt comfortable with it. I'm much further along that road and I'm really loving the 85 f/1.8 now. Between the image quality and the bokeh, this lens takes the most beautiful shots of any lens I have. I wish it was a little less bulky, but that's just a personal nit-pick of mine.The 50mm f/1.8 is an outstanding lens, there's simply no two ways about it. I simply find 50mm on a DX a little awkward to use. I'm sure if I shot with it long enough we'd find our comfort zone but right now, the 35/85 combo is rocking my world. I think in large part it's not so much a matter of one thing or situation being *better* than another, it's about learning to use what you have. As I'm fond of saying, at some point you have to stop asking yourself, "What lens do I need to get the shot I want?" and start asking yourself, "How do I get the shot I want, with the lens I have?" One path leads to better creative thinking and subsequently better photography, the other leads to an expensive case of NAS.......</blockquote>
