[QUOTE="SteveH, post: 293418, member: 9252"] I know you have had a lot of responses already, and been given a lot to think about, but I will add one more bit of info to consider..... As was touched on earlier, the 35mm and 50mm primes are VERY popular, then there is also the 85mm.... There isn't much focal length difference between the 3 lenses so it would be worth considering if you will eventually buy all 3, or two or maybe just one. If you only see yourself buying one prime, then I'd make it the 50mm..... In the middle. If you would see yourself buying more than one, then I'd consider the 35mm and later the 85mm. The 85 is apparently great for portraits etc. Personally, I've gone with the 35mm, later to be followed by the 85mm. Others will have a preference for the 50mm over the 35mm, so it would be an idea to look at the pictures you have taken so far, and see how may of your favorites are around the 35mm FL and the 50mm FL, and go from there.
