I think the 35mm prime is most useful because it presents a "normal" view, so it's excellent for streets, and the f/1.8 lens has very nice bokeh. It's in fact the lens that I use maybe 85% of the time.

I use my 10-24 for architecture and panoramas and the 18-200 for everything else.

crop factor for Nikons is 1.5x. So a 35mm will be 52.5mm equivalent view on an FX camera.
As for which to go, I say 35mm. The 24mm will not be useful if you buy the 24-70mm lens in future.

somewhere level one outside SLS 1.8k with 18-108 kit lens. but like some bros who said here, it might not be with local warranty. only shop warranty AKA Grey box? :x

Don't take it for certain that 1.8K is the real price. SLS shops are famous for this tactics, they will tell you price is before gst, make you buy something else at high price or do a bait and switch scam

24mm F/1.4G

The main difference is DOF, and it's very hard to achieve thin DOF at such wide angle.
I think this might be a bit overwhelming for you now. Enjoy your new body with the 18-105mm lens first.

 

[Fudgecakes]

Any idea when the price will start dropping again?

If you take portraits you will also need to get closer, and the wide angle can lead to the person's features being stretched and flattened,

Oh ok! i got wat u meant!! i think i jus go with jus 35mm once i used to it on 18 - 105mm

It's not exactly a portrait lens bro. If that's what wishes80 is looking for, sorry for recommending this. It's a wide angle lens that can achieve very low DOF (when you focus something close while leaving a large area behind the subject to be OOF, works the same if applied the opposite). Google for some pictures of this lens, you can then compare the pictures with what you can produce on ur 18-105mm at 18mm F/3.5. But then again, it's not a lens for everyone and it commands a very high price.
