haven't tried the 35 1.4G yes but i do love the 50 1.4G that's been glued to my D700

Really it comes down to the type of images you like to create. If you like landscapes then a wide angle, if you want to take portraits or kids for example then an 85 or something like that.

50 for me is the sweet spot..couple steps forward or backward covers a fair range, provides great speed and IQ, and at a couple hundred bucks..well, enough said..50 is the one lens I wouldn't want to be without

58/1.4. Since getting it I have 3k shots on it, maybe combined 100 on 5 other lenses.

50mm f/1.8 is what I would be happy with on my Df if I had only one lens.

I currently shoot mostly with my 35 1.4 and 85 1.4, and heavily favor my 35. However, if I had to shoot with just one lens I'd go with a 50, as it's a good compromise between the two. I can still compose with context if needed, or I can get a decent portrait out of it.

Sigma 50mm f/1.4. Amongst the best lenses for the format and the FL for the same reasons as above.

A 400 f/4 similar to Canon's new 400 f/4 II DO.
