I dare say it's even better than the more expensive 50mm 1.4G in usefull apertures.  The 50mm 1.4G has a bit more of a creamy bokeh at wide open, but you'd have to have two of the same shot side by side to really notice the difference.  If you're on a budget and your camera body has a focus motor D90, D7000 or above, the 50mm 1.8D is a bargain and just as sharp as the 1.8 "G" lens.  It's bit more plastic-y but it's an excellent lens.  On lower models it will still work, but you won't have autofocus.The 35mm 1.8G is a great all around normal lens.  You don't need to crop, just take a few steps forward.  The 35mm is a bit easier to work with on a crop sensor camera, especial in tight spaces where it's hard to take a few steps back as you would with a 50mm.</blockquote>
