Sam
35mm 1.8 or 50mm 1.8?
Tough choice but the edge seems to belong to the 35mm
from those reviewing the two. I got my 35mm when I bought
my camera almost 3 years ago and have loved it (except for the
6 damned weeks it was being fixed by Nikon). Either lens would
be great and it is a very personal decision. Watch a few Youtube
videos comparing the lenses - that may help in your decision.
Good luck!!!
Dale.

I'm wondering of getting one of 35mm 1.8G lens but then I also saw a lot of reviews on 50mm 1.8G ....I am really confused about which one to buy ?
Do enlighten me on this confusion!!

Enlightenment: I had the same choice.

Mandrake
Would make a great print!!!
The colors are almost glowing and
if the print was done correctly I'm sure
you would be happy to display it in a
prominent location of your home.
One word though - I've had some prints
made that turned out terribly and even after
manipulation and reprinting they were barely
adequate compared to the original.
Get a guarantee of satisfaction before you hand
them your cash.

Thank you Oksana, Dale and John.
This is one of my favorite shots.
I've never printed a photo. This may be the first.

I've had this thing for half a century.
Never used it, except to admire it's form and construction.
It has sat, waiting on a few kitchen counters for the right cook.

Way cool Mandrake. I love the texture of the wood.

Mandrake
Bold colors and strong shadows make
this a great image.
Really impressed with the subdued tones
of the window frame too.
In my opinion you nailed the settings on
this one.
