I'd use a 35/1.4 or a 50/1.4, most probably the 35. I like the angle of view better than the 50. However if I want to travel really really light it would be the 50/1.8.

If a porter is provided and someone is paying, I wouldn't mind the 200/1.8L or the 1200/5.6L. Great stuff !

wa.......50mm f1.4 or f1.8 also can.....

 

[Wolfgang]

If i could afford it, then the 50mm F1.4
But for now, i'll make do with the F1.8.

Canon EF 50mm f/1.0 L USM can?

20mm f/2.8 AIS rocks!!:thumbsup:

Nikkor 50mm f1.8 manual... brotherrrr...:thumbsup:

 

[Kho King]

not only the view angle or focal length, I always take into consideration the closest focusing distance of a lens...so that I can shoot close-up pic. So, faster lens not necessary good...have to take into consideration the CFD.

That's true, for CFD wise, me thinks the 28mm f/2.8 can go down to 20cm so that's really close

to be clear, it is the Nikon AIS 28mm f2.8. Having the closest focus distance in Nikkor.
