[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 342444, member: 24753"] Yes, maybe, maybe not. Really depends on the subject sizes, working distances, how much light is available, whether or not you can or want to use flash, if you want the background in focus and perhaps a few other things. If you can always move back to frame a shot, then the 50mm 1.8 would give more light and depth of field control. If you can't move back, then the short zoom is the only option. I have the 18-55mm, the 55-200m and a 40mm and usually have a reason which is on the camera that varies with all of the above. Indoor party, I would probably reach for the 18-55mm. Outdoor in the park with Rover, probably the 55-200mm, because Rover will be usually away from me a bit. If I had a 50mm 1.8 it would be used when I knew I had room to work and did not need the reach of a longer lens. [/QUOTE]
