  • Summary: I've started using this lens as a "walk around" lens on my crop sensor camera (Canon xTi) which makes it closer to a 50mm focal length.

Crop-sensor hobbyists, this was made for you.

  • Summary: First, let's talk specs. This is a prime lens, which means it has a fixed focal length. That means NO ZOOM. 35 mm has for years been a go-to for prime lens users.

  • Summary: An essential piece of kit. I have never really liked zooms - even a cheap prime beats an L series zoom in my opinion, in terms of image quality.
  • Pros: 1) cheap, 2) reliable, 3) light and compact
  • Cons: 1) slowish and noisy focus, 2) not sharp at f2.0 - you need to shoot at f2.8 and up, 3) colors are slightly washed out and grey looking - not much contrast on this lens.

Fun alternative to the Normal

  • Summary: For full-frame photography, the 35mm focal length gives you that fun, slightly-wider-than-normal shot which is very versatile in landscapes, architecture, and even
