Howdy,
So I'm looking for a new everyday walk about general purpose lens .... considering a prime at 35mm ... I hear such good things about forcing ones self into a prime mode in terms of working composition etc and think the 35mm would be a very good place to start (although I have my little trusty 50mm f/1.8 never too far from hand)
Any other Full Frame (body) users out there who shoot with a 35mm lens - care to comment on their thoughts? Do you know this combo works well for you? Has using a 35mm fixed prime improved your photography?
I see the new(ish) Sigma 35mm f/1.4 gets pretty good write-ups as does the (more $$) Zeiss 35mm f/2 .... (a mate of mine has the Zeiss and I have to admit on his 5D the colours, saturation and contrast straight out of camera are nothing short of jaw dropping) ...
cheers,
Nige
