Thinking about selling my 24mm f/1.4L II and getting the 35mm f/1.4L. Based on my gear list below, how many of you will do the same? I got the 24mm covered with my 24-105mm f/4L.


Canon 5D III | Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L II | Canon 85mm f/1.2L II |Canon 135mm f/2L | 580ex II

The 35L has legions of fans for full frame. I personally dont get it, so count me as a no.

If you think the 24L is too wide for your taste why not?
The 35 focalrange is covered with your 24-105 too.

I do like the 35 FL more. But there are lots of people who like the 24 FL more. Find out which you like the best.

I'd suggest a 50L in addition. 24L + 50L + 85L is a very nice killer combo.

As to coverage: FL-wise it is covered, yes, but not distortionwise, transparencywise, bokehwise or aperturewise.

Kind regards, Wim
