[QUOTE="RockyNH_RIP, post: 119312, member: 10784"] I see you already have some good comments but let me add to that... The Choice is yours as to what you shoot and how you shoot it!! I suggest you do NOT just see what is popular in Full Frame.. In my mind, just because the 50 (x1.5) does not equal a full frame prime, that does not make the 35 the only choice. It would be a 75 which is close to 85 which is a popular portrait lens.. See what focal length you have been shooting at when you use your kit 18-55!! What you have been shooting at currently will give you a good starting point. You mentioned portraits and I use my 50 for that indoors... I agree with one of the others, hard to do groups indoors with the 50 and the 35 shines as it does it many landscapes... Bottom line, go by what you shoot... Let that me your guide... In other words, what will work best for you!!?? Whatever you decide, they are both good quality, thats why I have both... (and I used both this weekend on my indoor shoots!) Pat in NH [/QUOTE]
