I always see that 50mm is not good for portraiture, BUT I shoot on a DX Nikon D3100 which has a crop factor of 1.5x, so 50mm is really like 75mm. Am I to understand that on MY body, since it's NOT FX, the AF 50mm 1.8D is actually a good starting point? I understand that a good length is between 50-100mm so 75mm is about perfect then, right? I've been looking and looking for a good lens for portraiture since seeing that a while ago, and this dawns on me at work today! DUH!! lol On my body the 50mm 1.8D should be a decent lens for portraiture, right? Not optimum because of the flat aperture blades, but better than the basic lenses. Am I understanding this right? My 35mm AF-S 1.8 is really about 50mm on my body so that is kind of a decent start too? Is this 50mm 'rule' going by FX standards?
