Don’t get me wrong, the 35mm 1.8 is a boss lense and will probably be my next, or a 28mm, but the whole focal length argument really only applies if you’re talking about lenses other than new. If you’re buying new, you might as well get the right one for your body. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shadys-personal-photography-progress-thread/262680)._
