when deciding between the focal lengths you need to establish in what kind of spaces you will be using the lens the majority of the time ??
small spaces ... 35mm
more room to move ... 50mm.

"and seeing how cost is an issue then i am leaning toward the 35mm."
Note that the 50mm AF 1.8D lens is the cheapest of all. You don't need the AF-S 1.8G lens, your D90 has a focusing motor. This lens is really good value for money.
Cost should be around $200.

I have the AF-S 50mm f/1.4, and at family events, it's too long. A 35mm would be perfect. On the other hand, the 50mm does take a very nice portrait.

got the 50mm and LOOOOOOOVVVEEE it
awesome lens
Nice work
There was no bad choice here...
While you're enjoying your 50mm f/1.8 you can save up for the 35mm f/1.8, which is also gorgeous.
I have both and love them equally.
Please don't hesitate to provide me with CC! I'd love to hear your thoughts regarding any of my images. Thanks!

now after using the 50mm a bit i can see the 35mm would also be nice to have
where do you stop though i want them all lol
decent tripod next i think
or maybe flash?
any suggestions of a flash?
Since you have low light lens, I would shy away buying a flash YET until you become certain of what you want to shoot.
Very good advice, and it can be applied to all equipment purchases.Originally Posted by Elogosha

It comes down to this: If you cannot identify what you need, then you don't need it.
Where's the fun in that!
I've got a Nikkor 50mm/1.4 for my D90. It cost about $320 on Ebay and I havent looked back since. Its great for portraits, but like other posters have already said, it may be a bit close for indoor shots unless youre shooting in a large-ish space.
