When I was first looking at DSLRs and whether to get everything separate or get a "kit" and other stuff, a friend recommended that if I was going to photograph bunnies, I might want to get a fixed length lens. Particularly because my rabbit room has the worst indoor light in my apartment, I do find myself with blurred up pictures using the kit lens, so maybe he was right. If I get a good shot I could always crop the pic to get the animal, so I'm thinking the lack of a conventional zoom wouldn't be such a big deal.
I'm looking at these lenses and it's another chunk of money but it's not like I'm buying it tomorrow. Just wanted to have something to look towards The Nikkor 35mm f1.8G lens is pretty reasonably priced. The 50mm f1.4G lens is like double in price! I kinda want to know why. The focal length doesn't seem to be THAT different (is it even visibly that different?) and the f# is a fraction apart -- though of course that could mean worlds apart for an expert while it doesn't seem like much to me. :?
Would anyone recommend a lens of this type for indoor bunny pics? And perhaps some general tourist-y type shots? (Landscape, maybe night shots, portraits)
