Thanks for the correction. I got that info from another forum. In any case, it's a good price for the lens but it's not hard to find at the moment. I'm debating on jumping on this deal.

It's 26 pages long printed and includes a lot of info with a minimum of KR BS.

It's also going to depend on how close you are to the subject you want in focus, not just the focal length to which you have your lens zoomed in or out.

based on your intended usage, the 50mm f/1.8 would be better for you since it's both cheaper + has a wider f/1.8 aperture for better subject isolation.
