50mm for Nikon D5100
So you want a 50mm equivalent focal-lenght for your crop-sensor camera?
Y'know, the "35mm crop sensor version" which you said wasn't enough is actually exactly what you're looking for.
The 35mm crop-sensor version will give you the exact same field of view as the 35mm full-frame version.
The only difference is the full-frame version is designed specifically for full-frame cameras and will give the same field of view as you'd expect from a 35mm lens on a full-frame camera.
But the 35mm crop-sensor version is designed specifically for cameras with a crop-sensor, which means it will be the equivalent of a 50mm lens on a full-frame camera.
My point is, you can use both the full-frame version and the crop-sensor version of the 35mm lens on a crop-sensor camera and you will have the exact same field-of-view, but only the full-frame version of the 35mm camera will work properly on a full-frame camera.
If you put a lens designed specifically for crop-sensor cameras on a full-frame body, you will get vignette near the edges of the frame and generally get worse results, that's why there is a full-frame version and a crop-sensor version of the same lens.
Bottom line is:
Get this lens!

Here's something I copy-pasted from the description:
- 35mm focal length
- 52.5mm equivalent focal length on DX cameras
