I am looking to get a new lens next month. Right now I'm thinking I'm going to get the 50mm. Right now I only have the standard kit nikkor lens for the d70 (which is a 18-70mm) and a 70-300mm (which I rarely use, as I mostly shoot people).
I know some people will say 50mm isn't good for portraits but I'm torn between getting the 85mm for outdoors and like a 30mm for indoors... so I'm going to compromise at the 50mm.
ANYWAY, I can ask for about 250 dollars worth of stuff for my birthday next month. What would you do...? the nikkor 50mm 1.4 which is supposedly a lot faster, sharper, and has a better DOF, or the nikkor 50mm 1.8 PLUS a new flash? Decisions, decisions.... The 1.4 is like $230 and the 1.8 is only $115 or so. Big difference but in the long run it might be worth it?
Thanks in advance!
