:)Thanks for all the feedback! I think I have decided on the 40mm f2.8 limited. Now, I just have to find one at a good price. Any suggestions?

So ,as I am researching I am finding that the Limited primes are great. How much of a difference is there between a prime that is a "limited" and one that is not? I want a quality even if that means I can only get one lens for now and have to save up to buy another later.
I understand that one lens isn't going to do everything I want, but I would like a good starting point.
Currently, I have a Pentax k200D with the kit lens 18-55mm zoom.
I don't think I will have a problem getting close to my subject. It will be moslty posed portraits.

The more I research the more I like primes. I think that I could possibly work with one of those for now and save up for a better zoom later. There are so many options to choose from! I am like a little kid in a very expensive candy store. I just don't know what to do!

Thanks! I am looking for something that I can use on babies and children, but that will also work for family groups as well. I guess that a zoom would be better for that. However, I don't have $820 laying around. I want to eventaully invest in both types of lenses, but I have a limited budget and can only afford around $400-$500. The lense is actually going to be a Christmas present from my husband.

Which is better for portrait photography, prime or zoom lense?
I don't know too much about lenses but I am trying to figure out which one to purchase. I want to get a good portrait lense that will work in multiple situations.
