I'd go for the 50mm 1.8G before the 35mm for portraits.That AF-D lens will not auto-focus on your D3300 body as the D3300 does not have the auto-focus motor built in.   If you'd like auto focus, consider the Nikon 85mm f1.8G - Often sells for $350-375 used, a great value really.I also agree to work with what you have already. As you have a lighting kit, you should really not need much below f9 for lit portrait work / learning <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
