It's light and will give you a little longer range than the 18-105. It is very sharp at least the one I have is. One thing that may be hard to get used to is the focus ring. Not sure if you manual focus much but this lens has the smallest focus ring I have ever used. Also you have to physically switch it to manual before you can move the ring. Other than that very nice lens great optics and I love the weight as I don't shot much in this range so putting it in the bag isn't going to add much carry weight. Filters are cheep so thats a plus. Not the fastest lens on the street but unless you have a lot of money to spend in this range you are about as fast as it is going to be. The 35 and 50 are a great combo. The 35 I'm still getting used to but it's growing on me. I bought the 50 first but again that depends on what you shoot. Most people find the 35 to be the first buy since it is very close to normal on dx and then get the short tele 50 next. Do you shoot a lot in the 18mm range and find that you would like a bit wider? For me 18 wasn't wide enough but 200 I could crop when needed. It all depends on your shooting and since you are all over the place. You should look at all your photos and map them out by focal range. I wrote a bash script that does this and can look for it if your interested. There is software that does this for you as well not sure what you have installed.</blockquote>
