lol the 50mm seems a real good deal - I'm usually into you get what you pay for, so I'll go with it and get one, I just reckoned that I needed a big zoom to blur the backs out like this:

or this is the type of shot Im getting from my 80mm at f5.6 - but I guess its cuase my lens wont go faster (the bloke that took this was using a 150mm)

Err, but that shot (the link just pointed to the same shot as far as I could see) wasn't taken with a 35mm SLR but with one of these so you can't compare focal lengths. Believe me, a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 will give you the out of focus background you're looking for.
