The 25mm is waiting in my cart, case closed. The 40-150 might be the next one after that, just to cover the general range. I was looking at a boatload of reviews saying get 42.5 or 45 for portraiture photography(one person even downplayed the 25 completely for portraits.) Moral of the story is there is such a thing as too much research.

Do you do portraits? The 25mm is a good general purpose focal length that can be  used for full body or 2 - 3 person shots. The 45mm is going to put you in the head and shoulders range unless you have some room.
