Look at some portraits... Notice that the face is in focus, and the backgrounds have a blurry focus... Your eye is drawn to the in-focus face... and the burry background/foreground provide a nice contrast to the rich details of the in-focus face... This is referred to as depth of field... and that creamy blurry background is referred to as bokeh... The 35mm 1.4 (1.8) lens is ideally suited to provide that contrast between in-focus and out-of-focus image (DOF)... where as the the F-stop of the 18-55, and 55-200 is not... IOW... the faster 35mm is better suited than the other lenses for portrait work as described above... IMO...</p></blockquote><p></p>
