[QUOTE="Lee, post: 238911, member: 8142"] I love my 50 mm AF-D F1.8 for indoors. Yes, it's a bit tight but I still prefer it to the 35 mm AF-S version. I can't give a good reason other than I tried both and prefer this one. I don't mind a bit of legwork. I do tend to prefer a fairly tight crop on my photos, so if your preference for portraits is to get head and shoulders I could see this not working. I am actually very happy with the 18-105 mm which was the kit lens on my D90 and would have been if I'd bought my current D7000 as a kit; it's my second choice, but only if I am unable to back up any more. I had my 50 mm mounted to my camera for most of Christmas Day. My feeling is, if it aint broke, don't fix it. Do you [U][B]want[/B][/U] a new lens, or do you [U][B]need[/B][/U] a new lens? If you can answer yes to either of those, you can safely go ahead and change without having to justify it to anyone but yourself. 50 mm, F2.2 and I did use some form of flash, in my very compact living room. This is quite possibly my favorite, although the least expensive, of all my lenses. I dont' think it costs much over $100 [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/2tiggies/11568592953/"][IMG]http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5524/11568592953_5bfb84a465_c.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL="http://www.flickr.com/photos/2tiggies/11568592953/"]Deep in thought[/URL] by [URL="http://www.flickr.com/people/2tiggies/"]MisfitLee[/URL], on Flickr [/QUOTE]
