Now I do not see how people can say there is not much difference between the 35mm and the 50mm I find there to be a world of difference, 99% of the time I use the 35mm as a walk around its a normal on DX. I would go for the 35mm as well as there are good reasons to own both and perhaps buy one of the lower cost off brand dedicated flash guns. If you really want to learn lighting there is a Yongnu that can be got cheep as chips is iTTL dedicated and has full manual override, look at things like the Strobist blogs for Ideas of what can be done with a few pounds on extras; stand brolly and a trigger/cable. For my first set of stand brolly and cable I spent less than £20 and used an old flash I had around the place (check trigger voltage). I liked the results that I now have a pretty complete set of studio lights, nothing special just low cost Chinese lights from the auction site and they cost me less for 3 lights, stands triggers and background supports and modifiers than the top of the range Nikon flash. I would not dream of buying an expensive flash now, its light and you can get good results for a lot less as long as you have a variable output from the flash.</p></blockquote><p></p>
