For me 35 1.4L, maybe there are other with good IQ and reasonable price (28 1.8 or 35 2 ?). It's for party-dj movies in lowlight, with the remaining cash I can maybe buy some other stuff...

The 28mm is most likely temporary until I can afford the 24L or the 35L. I still haven't decided which. Who knows though, as it is a nice lens. Thanks for Reading & Good Luck - Jim

ScottM Goldmember More info | Sep 03, 2012 17:11 | #4 I have the 28mm f/1.8, a left over from when I shot crop only. It's a good enough lens for me to hang onto for wide angle on my 5D3. The IQ is good, and it's AF is ring USM, so it is quick and smooth. I do not need a fast wide prime often enough to spend the money for a 24L or 35L.

I've seen some people running 40mm f2.8 on FF lately. Taylor

Also it can focus ridiculously close thus it is a unique lens. Try one if you can.
