I've had my D5100 for a year now and have both standard DX zoom lenses: 18 - 55 mm and 55 - 200 mm, I also have a Holga pinhole and a Diana+ 20mm fish eye.
Neither of the zooms are particularly fast and the other two lenses are what one would expect for a price tag of <£10 each, that said I have enjoyed the constraints of a fixed lens and I want to get back to my roots (My 1st camera, in the 80s, was the Pentax ME Super with the 50mm prime ... I delivered a LOT of newspapers to get that!) and get a good fixed lens at about the 50mm focal length.
The type of photos I take can be seen here at 500px.com/amuseboucheUK
Am I right in thinking that a 35mm full frame lens will give me 50mm ish? WHat lenses are there (within a reasonable budget) are worth looking at in combination with the D5100.
Many thanks
Matt
