I want to get a prime lens and I was wondering if I should get the 40mm macro or the 50mm. I do like taking pictures of small things (close up of flowers, plants, insects, etc.), but I also pictures in low light and portraits so I was wondering if the 1.0 difference in the f-stop will make the lens bad for low light photography. Both lens are about 200 dollars and as a broke college student it has to be one or the other.
