I would choose the 35mm lens to go with your camera, Jaackil. If given a further choice I would make it a 35mm f/1.4 instead of 1.8, but either way, I would take the 35mm. It renders a natural perspective, something longer lenses (100mm, 200mm, 300mm) don't do. Longer focal lengths compress perspective in an unnatural way, which I don't generally like, unless for specific effect.
Your 18-55mm is a good choice, but much too "slow".
Thank You for your reply. The 1.4 would be great but until the kids are all through college the 1.8 will have to do :-). I love my primes and honestly they are on my D3100 most of the time. I just wonder, will I feel limited in a place like Disney with only a prime? On the other hand the 18-55 is great outdoors during the day but like you said much to slow for anything with limited lighting.
