[QUOTE="wreckdiver1321, post: 293129, member: 21628"] I would suggest you definitely get the 35mm f/1.8 to add to your setup. I have the exact same gear as you - D3100, 18-55mm non VR, and the 55-200mm non VR. I also have the 35mm. I can tell you that the 35mm is a much sharper lens than the 18-55. I love mine because it has awesome low light abilities and it is very versatile. When I'm out doing city/street photography, it works amazingly well. I just pop the camera in "A" mode, set the aperture, point, and shoot. It's so light and small you hardly notice it. Thanks to that large aperture, in low light situations, I can hand hold the camera without having to go above 1600 ISO (usually), which makes the images cleaner. The bokeh is fairly good, although not as good as the 50mm f/1.8. The build quality is also leaps and bounds ahead of the kit lenses. [/QUOTE]
