	--> The 35mm focal would give you more overall
	flexibility. The current models are truly outstanding.
	Personally, when I had only a 50mm, I always felt
	I lacked perspective control and that my shots looked
	rather bland and constrained.
	 I'm NOT arguing about optical quality,
	but rather a more general creative usefulness.
	Actually, I never understood why cameras come
	with a 50 mm lens...
	I simply can't imagine you'd feel sorry for yourself
	if "stuck" with a single lens, a well-chosen 35mm one.
	Best regards,
