I am debating between two lenses to go with D10.
Most of pictures I shoot are people indoors with available light. Any comments?

I have the poor brothers of the 2, the 50mm is a good portrait lens while the 35mm is more the classic standard one. In small rooms, the 50mm is a little too long!

If I had my choice between the two lenses, and I shot most of my pictures indoors, I would choose the 35mm 1.4L. In realatively small places such as indoors, the wider lens may be more usable.

What is the price difference between these lenses?

50mm 1.4 is about USD 300 and
35mm 1.4L is aabout USD 1200. It is a pro lens.

Best question to ask is which focal lengh will fit your needs, bearing in mind the 1.6x magnification you get with thr 10D
50mm = 80mm
35mm = 56mm

Oh, and if you can justify the price difference ;)
