Hi there. I am fairly new to the dslr scene and I have pretty much just shot with a 35mm on a D3100 for the last couple of months now. I am a bit addicted to the wide open shots you get on a prime.
Anyhows I have been battling with the idea of getting the 85mm f1.8 as my next prime but since its a bit pricey its a fair bit of having one in my hands and actually doing the shooting. The main reason I am looking at the 85 is, is to do a bit of portraiture and also to do a bit of street photography which I do find a bit in your face with the 35mm.
Now is better to just dredge along and save up for the 85 or get a 50mm maybe even second hand or even get a 70-300 (also pricey) to weather the storm of having some new glass on my camera.
