As many others did, I would say that is matter of choice. I have both 35
and 50 Summicron and the 35 is the lens that is always on the body. I love
it because of easy focusing (in terms of depth of field) and its
perspective, although wearing spectacles I would be more confortable with
50.

About quality: I never did comparative tests! In any case I think that both
are sometime impressive.
