I haven't done much macro and up to date have been happy with the lens I have to do closeup work.

I am thinking of purchasing either the 35mm or the 50mm. There is a big difference in price and I am wondering if starting out with the 35mm would be a good idea, or do I bite the bullet and go for the more expensive 50mm.
I am not that interested in portraits, it would be used mainly to get inside flowers and photograph insects.
If anyone has either of these, I would appreciate some feedback or advice. Thanks.
Lyn.
