Sony A390 prime lens

[Richb1888]

Hi all,

I'm new to the forum so please accept apologies if I'm covering old ground here or if I've posted in the wrong place.

So, I'm looking at a new lens for my camera sony a390. I currently have a 18-70 and a 75 - 300 mm lenses. Both are great for different things obviously. I want to get a 'fast' lens as I'm struggling to get the bokeh effect with these lenses. So, do I go for a 35mm or a 50mm lens?

There are 2 similarly priced lenses (in the UK) I've been looking at....


SONY DT 35mm f/1.8 SAM or SONY 50mm f/1.8 DT

Just wondered if anyone could offer any pros/cons for which is better? Or if the only difference is the focal length in which case I guess it just depends what I'm shooting. Looking for something that will be quite versatile.

Thanks in advance for any tips or advice.
