Quick D5000 and 50mm autofocus question

Congrat on the new lens. I was going to say go with the 35mm. I had the 50mm and it was a sharp lens but did not offer the width I needed. I got rid of it and went with the sigma 18-50 f2.8 and have been very happy. I think the 35 will make you happy.

I used my 35mm 1.8 for the family Christmas celebration last night. I am absolutely thrilled with the results. What a great lens!

Me too. My dad wanted me to take some pictures today of him and our dog and I think they came out very well. Had to scrap a bunch because the dog would look away or my dad wouldn't listen to what I told him to do it came out looking awkward. But the clarity was excellent. Had some fading sunlight outside but I used to flash to even out the shadows and I think it came out fairly smooth. Very happy with the lens and would recommend it to anyone considering it as an addition to the kit lens.
