Lens Question

[Brian33433]

I'm using a Nikon D5300 and debating on the best lens to use. I hear some say the Nikkor 35mm f1.8 DX and some say the Nikkor 50mm f1.8 DX. Which is a better choice for single camera head scanning or is there a better option.

I'm using the same camera and having OK results with the kit lens. If you want good quality, I will definitely go with the 35mm f1.8. But then if you are only doing head scans, 50mm might be a better length. How many camera setup are you thinking?

I'm only using the one camera

If that's the case, go with the 35mm f1.8. The kit lense is pretty soft. Even with a prime lense, I advice small amount of sharpening in photoshop or lightroom. Makes a hell of a difference.
