I picked up a Nikon D5200 + 16-85mm VR Nikon lens the other day.
I'm still new to photography, and I can't even say how the 16-85mm pair has worked out yet (though the wide end and furthest zoomed end seem to be a workable focal range).
I'm looking at the 35mm as my walk-around prime lens to learn on. I would possibly get the 50mm as well later, however anything like the 20mm prime or 85mm prime end up fitting into way too high of a price-bracket to make sense.
So the comparison is between the 35mm 1.8G, and the 50mm 1.8G. Both are on sale for $220 each. I don't think I can justify picking up both at the same time, considering I want to go out and get a Tamron 70-300mm at some point when it hits a sale down to $450 or lower locally. I also can't justify the price simply because I only know what I've researched, and so I need to really work on my photography skills to get the most out of my gear first.
