simply from a cost perspective, for $355? I'd get a manual nikkor maybe a 105 or 85 and buy the $165 50mm afs , it still all comes under $355 total ...that's what comes to my mind but I'm different. If you won't consider manual it adds up way faster? .... the Nikkor 28 ais 3.5 manual is a fantastic landscape lens, loves polarizers and filters, will not flare ...does perfect on sunsets and cost nothing.... no better value Nikkor exist. I bet you could score a 105 2.5 and 28 3.5 and buy the 50mm for under $350 total and have one nice kit to suit your needs and everything you need to have pro results ? Or buy a zoom that fits in that range, and forget the 50's?...the Nikkor 28-105 af was one of my favorites and a bargain ... get that and 50 1.8 afs your set with options
