I have a D3100 with 18-105 and a 70-300mm lens. I am really just getting back into photography and am taking a course with the Open College of the Art as part of their Photography degree (although probably not going for the full degree). I am looking to get a prime lens for some close work and portraiture and can't decide between the 35mm which is the classic prime lens people seem to buy and the 40mm micro which is a bit more expensive but would give me the opportunity to expand the photograph types I take. The micro aperture is obviously not as wide, but is still pretty good. Just wondered if anyone had experience of one or other of these lenses or had / knew of both for comparison.
