When all I had were DX bodies (the D5300 and D7100), the 35mm saw way more action than the 50mm ever did. With switching to FX, the 50mm and 85mm are seeing much more use. 50mm is that "nifty fifty" as JH mentioned, mostly because it most closely resembles the view angle that we're used to seeing when not looking through a viewfinder. On a crop sensor like the D5200, your 35mm will perform/look more like a 52mm focal length would look on an FX body, so you're already there. Based on my own usage, I would probably skip on the 50 and go with something longer as the next jump up ... particularly since the 50 would likely also overlap with your kit lens. I would more likely go to something like the 85mm f/1.8G as the next prime, rather than the 50, in your case.</blockquote>
