Hi all,
Been looking around for advice and can't seem to get many views on it. I recently bought the 50mm f1.8 g lens for my D3100 and love it, portraits are superb.
However, I am also thinking of getting the 35mm mainly for indoor, low light party situations (such as Xmas) where there will be groups of 3 or more people in frame.
I took the 50 out last week and someone took a photo of me, the wife and kids and had to step back about 4 metres to get us all in frame!
Am looking at the 35mm f1.8 G; my question is; are they too similar to justify the purchase or should I spend a bit more and get something like the 18-105mm?
I've got the kit lens but it's just not quick enough for indoor use without a flash; that being said I do have a Nissin di466 which will solve that but sometimes I need to take pics quickly and not have to put the flash on all the time.
I'm not likely to do landscapes, macros,etc; just nice family shots of the kids playing and people in a party situation.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks,
Ryan
