That was my point in suggesting that Josh pass on the 50 mm. If you have just one prime, I wouldn't make it a 75 mm.

Nikon has a fast 35 (F2) that would work if you want a 50 mm equivalent prime.

The advantage of investing in a few non-dx format lenses is that whatever happens in the next few years with sensor sizes (dx, full frame, whatever) the standard (non dx) lenses are likely to still have some value, albeit possibly with different picture angles.
