In my (very limited) experience, I've found that this holds true for the short telephotos (75, 85, 90), too. - ---------------------------------------------- From: Peter Klein I think the 35 and 50 are quite different in personality, and not at all too close together. It isn't just angle of view, it's how close the lenses force you to be to your subject, and what that does to both perspective and your relationship to the subject. A 35 is probably better as your "default" lens if you do most photography indoors and/or at close quarters and must include significant amounts of background. A 50 is probably better if you have more room or like to zero in on things more. With a 35 (or wider), the photographer is often a participant in the picture. With a 50, you are more of an observer.
