FarmerTed1971 fondling the 5D4  More info | Wow... you really limited your focal lengths for less than a stop (granted there is IS). I don't have a 24-70 anymore, nor do I feel like I need one, but I don't think I would have made particular decision.

I only use wider lens only if I have to because of space limitations or because I want to include a bit of the environment in my shots. I found that when I was using the 24-70, I was always in the 35-50mm range and rarely at 70mm because at that point I would just use the 70-200mm. https://instagram.com/shintarodesign

Scrumhalf Cream of the Crop  More info | Mar 06, 2017 10:12 | #1848 I think one thing that isn't being mentioned is the awesome IS on the 35/2. While one stop isn't much, in combination with the IS, I feel that the 35/2 has a place in anyone's toolkit for the times when you can't use flash and a non-IS lens cannot give you the shutter speed you need.

I rented both the 35mm f1.4 L version 1 and the 35mm f2 IS to see which I wanted to purchase. While the f1.4 was nice, it wasn't quite sharp wide open so I was stopping it down a bit anyway. The IS and the lower price made the 35 f2 way more appealing. The 35mm f1.4 version 2 might be the only other lens I would want to try to upgrade to when the price is lower. https://instagram.com/shintarodesign

I don't regret my decision. i made the same move, however for weight saving reasons, not because i didnt find 2.8 fast enough. 6D| 35mm f/2 IS

I don't regret my decision. This is my dilemma. I'm sure it can work both ways. I don't do much indoor work and I'm not a professional... just a dedicated hobbyist.

I regret selling mine. So sharp wide open, and lightweight to boot!

Mar 10, 2017 11:45 | #1858 Between this lens and the 135L, I don't think there's much that these couldn't shoot together and in any light. For me, it's almost the perfect lens. Fast, lightweight but high quality, sharp as hell, and great colors. The focal length is nice on FF and crop and the bokeh is sweet. Here's some stuff I have shot fairly recently which show it's versatility.  _MG_0162 by Bridgesphoto, on Flickr _MG_9437 by Bridgesphoto, on Flickr _MG_0033 by Bridgesphoto, on Flickr Dunfords (88) by Bridgesphoto, on Flickr Sayge and Nick (12) by Bridgesphoto, on Flickr IMG_2483 by Bridgesphoto, on Flickr IMG_2166 by Bridgesphoto, on Flickr2 6D - 35 f1.4L, 135 f2L, 50 f1.8 STM, 85 f1.8

A lot of my photos from it have this sort of 3D quality that I see in this great shot! I bet you'll save this forever to look at when he's grown up! Sam
