Is the alternative more or less sharpness or the ability or not to shoot handheld pictures at EVx with ISOxxx film ? Comes my main question: does the 35mm at f1.4 allow to shoot handheld with as much darkness as the 50mm at f1, the wider angle allowing a slower shutter speed? And another question: isn't focusing MUCH more reliable for the 35mm at f1.4 than for the 50mm at f1 ? Alan
