So stay with the kit lens for a while? I cant play with the aperture though. Thats why thinking of these two lenses. Most of my friend used 50mm. But done a few research, from my point of view, photo produced by 35mm looks more tempting.    Thanks for the feedback.

You can play with aperture actually, just that AF-S lenses don't have aperture ring and the kit lens' aperture are too high to easily do bokeh.
50mm are more affordable, but I'd say 35mm is more functional, moreover on DX for full body shot.
So if you can afford it, go with 35mm. Probably around RM600 for 35mm f/1.8 DX.
Dunno about AF-S, but 50mm f/1.8D are usually below RM300.

Oops. What I was trying to say before is that my kit lens cant be lower as 35mm lens. Correct me if I am wrong. Anyway, I will try to use my kit lens for the moment. Still long way to go. 

eh 85mm 1.8D or 1.8G? i thinkin to get one used one play play. bt now scared parents cakap cz i bought a dell monitor 

I not sure why but after watching this video, look very interesting. Hmmm


Any suggestions on other lens? I love to try capture "milky way" also. Still learning. The scariest about milky way photo, is that you have to go to a place which is completely dark.  
Its not ghost that I scare the most, but the local people. Local crime rate is rising. Lel.

guys, any of you uses your Nikon for video works?

Hi sifus, wanna ask between 35mm and 50mm lens. Which one is the more preferable, practical lens to get?

fyi, im a student with small budget, planning to get a 2nd hand lens if possible. Currently using a D5100 with the 18-55mm kit lens for almost 3 years now. Mostly experimenting various styles of photography (landscape, portrait, macro, normal everyday shooting)

Any nikkor or non-nikkor lens to recommend? preferably below RM750. thanks

Yesss......lick each others' @arse 

I hope nobody feel offended about this photo. If you think this is inappropriate & need to remove it. Please let me know.

If you are afraid of daddy long-legged spiders, then you are going to be terrified by these arachnids!

Many harvestmen may look like much larger versions of daddy long-legged spiders we have at home, but they are not considered as spiders due to the lack of a true thorax and abdomen.

Harvestmen are usually omnivores and can be found in moist, shaded areas of parks or forests.
