Anne A.

Anne A.
do you want a prime lens? or something with some range?
yes
Anne A.
the 35mm f1.8 is a great lens on the D7000
ok for portrait
Anne A.
It is. it's very sharp and it'll give nice bokeh.
the 17-50 f2.8 is a good lens if you'd rather have some zoom
i think 50 mm is less it should be 70
for portrait
Anne A.
the 35mm is equivalent to 50mm on a full frame camera
yes
Anne A.
50mm is better, but it gets tight in smaller spaces
but for portrait i think 100 should be
Anne A.
longer focal length is better, yes
but that's not as good for landscape
yes we have to buy two
Anne A.
ok! I thought you wanted one lens for both :-)
we have the 50mm f1.8 lens available refrubished for 159.95.

Anne A.
the 35 is avaiable new, but not refurbished at thistime

100
Anne A.
