Answer This Question
1-3 of 3 Answers
I have the three main lenses and find myself using the 16-50 most but the 1.8/50 is the best lens of the group, the 55-210 is a great lens but it makes the camera feel a bit front heavy. The 16-50 is a good lens that makes the camera feel very compact and adds the versatility of getting wide shots, it is just the glass on the 50 is superior to the other two. I use all three frequently and get some awesome results. Good luck and I hope this was helpful.

Sorry, there was a problem.

If you tend to shoot more in the 45 to 55mm range assuming you have a 18-55mm or a 16-50mm kit lens this would be toward the far end of the lens. The 50mm f1.8 would be your choice, if you shoot more shots on the lower and mid range of the zoom 25 to 40 then the 35mm f1.8 is a better choice. Both are very good, clear with OSS. With your zoom lens frame an object at 35mm then determine the distance you have to move forward or backward to frame it with your 50mm zoom setting. This will give you a feel of the difference in the two lenses. The 50mm is slightly larger, The 35mm cost more and price may be a consideration, $400 vs $300. Most people will suggest the 35mm but it really depends how YOU shoot. You can't go wrong, both are very good and you will enjoy the f1.8 . Enjoy shooting!
