I'm seriously going to pull my hair out. I want a prime lens and I want one bad. Problem is I am endlessly stuck between saving a buck or two and getting the 35mm with AF for my D5000 or spending more dough and getting the 50mm 1.4. I am noticing about a $200 price limit. I could always get the less expensive 50mm 1.8 but the AF won't work on my body. I don't know how big of a deal that will be to me or not.
The thing is If I get the cheaper lens...(the 35mm or the 50 1.8 without AF) I can also squeeze in a 55-200mm lens without my husband going nuts. Trying to keep myself below a $500 purchase here.
I love, love, LOVE shooting portraits and facial close-ups. With that all being said, What in the world should I do. Help me before I go bald.
