Two Nikon D40 Questions

[mom2rtk]

I would suggest the 35mm over the 50mm. I feel that I tend to backup way to much when using the 50. In fact, the 35mm has become my standard lens that I keep on my D40. Remember you can always zoom with your feet.

I agree with this. I got the 50mm f1.8 before our trip last fall for some low light rides. After playing with it a bit, I figured out that I really didn't like the 50mm fixed focal length. I added the Sigma 30mm f1.4. Taking out of the equation the fact that the 50 was cheaper and the 30 was a faster lens, just going strict focal length......... I loved the 30 a lot more. Especially at Disney where backing up farther will likely have you bumping into more people!
