Hello everyone,


I have been reading your posts for some time and have picked up quite a bit. Thanks for that.


My question concerns prime lenses. I have read many places that the 35mm, 50mm and 85mm lenses are very valuable. I understand the usefulness of wide apertures for low light and great D.O.F. Are you looking for those exact focal lengths or in the area? The reason I ask is because I use a cropped sensor and if I were to want a 50mm focal length I would most likely go for the 35mm f/2 (or something like it) for a 1.6x conversion of 56mm. Like wise if I wanted an 85mm I would go for the 50mm f/1.4 to get 80mm. I figure I would use them for general photography including low light. Are you recommending the 50mm and 85mm because of the particular lenses or because of the benefits of the focal lengths?


Thanks,


Brett
