Assuming that you don't mean the asph version of the 35mm f1.4 (as you say
that money is tight), then I think you'd be happier with the non-asph 35mm
f2, than with the non-asph 35mm f1.4.

If you're really serious about Kosovo, make sure your medical insurance,
life insurance and Will are up to date before you leave.
