[QUOTE="Eduard, post: 13816, member: 986"] I have the 35/1.8G, 50/1.4D and 85/1.8D. As Jack said above, all of them are fast enough to get the nice bokeh blur to separate your subject from the background. Traditional film and FX shooters tend to lean on one of the 85mm versions for portraits. With your D5000 being DX, the 50mm is equivalent to about 75mm on FX. You can pick up the 50/1.8D for about US$120. A used 85mm/1.8D will cost you around $350-400. The nice thing about the 85mm is that you don't have to be as near to the subject which tends to let them relax a bit more. [/QUOTE]
