This will fit my nikon d5500, but should I get the 35mm to be equivalent to the 50mm? null

Question

Upon learning about the "crop factor" for DX cameras I also purchased a 35mm to be equivalent to the 50mm.

Depending on what you are using it for. Bought his lens a month ago and love it. This does put you more around the 75mm range though.

The 35 is good on crop sensors for landscape but not good for portraits except indoors.. the 50mm is perfect for portraits on the crop sensor body !! But you would need a 24mm to get 36mm on a crop sensor !!

I personally like the 50mm lens better, just gives a little more reach, and less wide angle.

Depends on what you want to shoot.
If you are shooting nice portraits with good bokeh, i would recommend 50mm f1.8. It gives you ~85mm
35mm will get you a wider shot, but from what i read bokeh is not great compared to 50mm.
