Originally posted by Flickeroo I don't know if you will also have the kit lens, but in my opinion it's too long for any interior shots in the home.
A meter away you will only be able to frame the face tightly.
I have the FA 100 Macro and because it's my only fast telephoto lens I use it for general purposes, but it's too long for indoors other than close-cropped portrait.
It's a great lens, but it might frustrate you if you wish to go wider, I suggest you also get the kit lens, or if you wish to stay with primes only, the DA 35mm f2.4 AL.
It will give you much more flexibility if you have a second option with your D FA macro 100mm f2.8.
I completely agree with Flickeroo on this lens. The 100mm is going to only give you head shots indoors at home. Even a 50mm prime is almost too long to use indoors. To get a full body shot with a 100mm, you would probably need to stand 20+ feet away. I would predict that if you do get the Kit Lens 18-55, you will be using that lens for most of your candid/family/people shots, it's simply a more flexible lens to use and allows you to be in tight quarters.
My favorite walk around lens is also the 35mm, it's mildly telephoto indoors and plenty wide for general outdoor use.
