baggiolee's signature shows D7000, which like D90 is also a DX-body. Should not be any significant difference to D90 in terms of image quality, bokeh, etc.

sorru newie here, what is the different between 35 f1.8G and 50mm f1.8g? thanks

like ZCA said, 1 is 35mm n the other's 50mm both give a different FOV. to see which focal length suits u more, set ur kit lens to 35mm or 50mm n shoot at these focal lengths all the way

If you are shooting a DX body, then 35mm is (normal), and 50 is slightly (tele)...For instances, in studio, one might shoot full body with a 35, and do a head and shoulder shot with the 50....and a crowd with a 14 or 20m...(DX of course)...
Now in the case of full frame, the 50 becomes "normal" (full body shot), and a 75 or 85 becomes "head and shoulders"...The 35 becomes slightly wide and the 20 and 14 become very wide.... Of course if you only have one lense then you just let your feet do the zooming, forward for the head shot and back up for the full body or crowd>>>:bsmilie:

From these 2 pics, to me it feels like the lens doesn't handle contrasty backgrounds too well. The individual spots of light do seem rather distracting even though they're out of focus. When the background is evenly-lit, the bokeh is much more pleasant. Overall still looks better than the 50/1.8D

Also really depends on the size of your studio. 85 works well also as half body for FF, and 135 works great as head and shoulders for FX.

Buzzmario was just asking for some input on the 35m vs the 50m so I was giving him some examples...I did not want to confuse him with FOV, but in retrospect that approach may have been better... Yeah, I have even stood outside the door and shot into one of my former studio's with my 300 f2.8 for a certain effect....and lately I've been experimenting with a 50m 1.8 on one of my M4/3 Oly's..(its like shooting with a 100mm on my FF cam)...My Guam studio space is 20' x 40' (Its an old Bar)...My shooting space in Bangkok is considerable smaller so I have to use normal to wide FOV, unless I step out into the hallway...Ha Ha...:bsmilie:

I want to get this lens for my D7000. Was not sure whether to get the 35mm or 50mm, but now I think I'll go for the 50mm 1.8G. Checked price and was quoted 279$ at SLRR.
