One question: What do you want to do with it?


If I had to pick just one focal length, I would probably go 85 or 100. I prefer portraits and candid photos. I like to take all kinds of photos, but the reason I have the camera is to take photos of my kids(ok lame, I know) The best ones I get are at longer focal lengths. With a 28 you need to be right in there face to get a tight portrait, and then its distorted. I also love Bokeh, which is harder with wides.The 50 1.4 is a great lens, and it would be a good choice also.


Here is one with the 50. 1.4





I wouldn't look down on a 28-135, I have been pretty impressed with mine, and as a kit it is very reasonable, and its well built. What about a decent consumer zoom and the 50 1.8 when you need it?


Good luck,


Tom
