[QUOTE="riwa, post: 365074, member: 32881"] Hello and thanks for all the replies. I had googled some and went to my local camera store to try out the 50mm/1.8G and the 35mm/1.8. The 35 didnt give me too much difference from my regular 18-55, but maybe I was using it wrong. The 50mm however felt very nice and focused perfectly. I noticed how much sharper the picture was with it compared to my other two "adjustable" lenses. I wish I had tried out the 40mm too, but I think that I will regret it if I dont buy a lens with 1.8.
