[QUOTE="§am, post: 114848, member: 9187"] The 50mm f/1.8G is a fantastic lens indeed. I chose mine over the 35mm when I was in the same position as you a little while back. Reviews, and general discussion on the lens puts it at just above the 35mm in terms of sharpness and IQ overall. Some say it's even sharper than the 50mm f/1.4G b ut I've not used that one. In terms of comparing it to the 35mm f/1.8G, I would suggest you set your standard (18-55mm?) lens at 35mm and 50mm and see the difference between the two. I can just about get away with a 50mm in my house, but there have been times when I couldn't back up anymore so had to move the kids back instead, which has ruined the picture so to speak. Also, I personally thought the 35mm was too close to the 50mm to have both, but again that will depend on your personal preference. I would say get the 50mm if you have the space to move around when taking pictures of the kids (but try the two focal lengths as I mentioned already using your 18-55mm). The £149 you save by not buying the 35mm as well, can be saved towards a SB-700 flash :) Also, not sure why you're buying from Amazon (today's price for the 50mm was/is £164), whereas WEX have it for £155 And in case you're still considering the 35mm, it's £150 at Amazon, but a huge saving of £1 if you get it from Calumet @ £149 :) Check out UK prices here: [URL="http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/mc.php?n=Nikon SLR Lenses&mc=30"]Nikon Camera Price Comparison From CameraPriceBuster.co.uk[/URL] As for filters, as far as I know, most of the Nikkor lenses all use a screw on filter (50mm has a 58mm filter thread, the 35mm has a 52mm).
