Nikon 35mm f/1.8G or 50mm f/1.8G for my D7000?
I have a D7000, and I'm wondering what features each lense has and what kind of situation they are use in. I read that the 50mm has a view much closer to our eyes, but in some other reads it says that the magnification on a non full frame will be 1.5x, so I'm kind of iffy as to whether to believe that or not. Anyways, what I want is a lense that will be closer to my vision so I can easily figure out how far and what I angle I need to take the shot at.
On your cropped-frame D7000, the 35mm has a slightly narrower angle-of-view than your eyes, the 50mm is a short telephoto, they do entirely different jobs. The 50mm is prized by many users of cropped-sensor cameras as a portrait lens.
On full frame, the 35mm is a longish wideangle, while the 50mm does, indeed, match the eyes' angle-of-view.
I would go for the 50mm… Many people, including myself, love that lens.
