I really like my 35mm art lens, but I am not sure there is any reason to keep it at this point. So I am just soliciting thoughts and opinions. Thank you for your time. I'm a little late to this discussion, but wanted to add some thoughts. The 18-35 mm is almost 5 oz, (almost 20%) heavier and 1 and 3/4 inches longer. The extra weight and length is definitely noticable. It is a heavier, bulkier, lens. The 18-35 is also a superb lens and is very sharp edge to edge especially when stopped down to f/2.8. The 35mm f/1.4 is a sharper and better lens however. It is also useable on a full frame body which the 18-35mn is not. The 35 f/1.4 is also currently on sale for $200 off list. If you paid full price for that lens when you acquired it, selling your used copy now may not get you as much as you might hope. If you can afford it, I would definitely hold on to that lens. My personal feeling is if you sell it, you will eventually regret it. Mark

I ended up returning the 18-35mm and keeping my 35mm and buying a Eos R. So far I am super happy with the decision and I am really loving the combo for taking pics of my new granddaughters.
