Hey all,
I am going to be buying a prime for my EOS 40D shortly but am struggling whether to go for the 35mm f2 or the 50mm f1.4
I want a lens that is versatile enough for portraits of my family and as a general walkabout lens.
I thought the 50mm was the one to go for as it becomes 85mm equivalent with the crop factor but is this just too long for everyday use.
At the same time the 35mm will be about 50mm equivalent and I am bit worried that it will be too short for portraits.
Any advice please, I am tearing my hair out here.
