A 50mm is a solid middle-ground focal length and it fits really well in a 35/50/85 setup. I like lens setups that have redundancy—if one lens breaks, you’re not stuck trying to shoot an entire wedding on something that doesn’t work for the moment.
Pros
- +Versatile focal length for portraits and general coverage
- +Adds redundancy between 35mm and 85mm
- +Often a cost-effective prime option
Cons
- -Can feel neither wide nor tight depending on your style
- -Still requires lens swaps compared to a zoom
