I am planning to start a lifestyle/travel blog soon as a way to investigate my passion for photography. I'll be moving to a new city, so I'm planning to take your regular photos that you'd see in a lifestyle blog - things like portraits/medium shots, urban/architecture, food, clothes/accessories, minimalistic etc. I've so far only been using the kit lens on my D5200 and I'm looking to upgrade. So, given the things I'm planning to shoot, I looked into Nikkor 50mm and 85mm. I must say I'm a fan of the "bokeh" effect, so I guess the 35mm wouldn't be a choice to start with. (By the way, is it just me or the equivalents for Canon produce softer images with greater depth of field than Nikon?!) I'd appreciate it greatly if you shared your opinions on these lenses and whether they'd be suitable in my case. Feel free to suggest any other lenses that you reckon would serve the purpose.
Another thing that I've noticed with the kit lens is the fact that the angles often get twisted. I'd like to avoid that problem with my new lens, especially when shooting buildings, for instance. Also, my current lens understandably performs awful indoors, so I'm looking for something that shoots well in rooms with normal daylight. Thank you!
