We took a 3 week, 7500 mile road trip across much of the US this past summer, and took about 4,000 photos. Halfway through, the 18-55 kit lens really started showing its limitations, and i took this as a sign to upgrade my newly wedded wife in terms of lenses.
Budget is $350-$400, and i was set on getting the Sigma 50mm 1.4 due to the overwhelming positive reviews, figured it'd be a nice high quality prime lens that she would probably keep forever.
THEN, Black Friday deals showed up, and now i'm thinking of getting the DA 35mm AND the DA 50mm 1.8 for the same total price.
Any burning reason to ignore the deals and go with the Sigma at this point?
Bear with me, we're both still what i'd consider "pretty new" at this.
