Help me decide: 35L vs 50L on a crop body

Hello all, I know both lenses are great but I'd like to hear from people who have had to make the decision or those who have both and which ends up being more useful to them.

Thanks in advance,
Nick

On a crop body I would go 24L or 35L.

It looks like you have 2 50mm lenses now--do you like them on your crop body, or do you look for something wider?

Well you've already got a few lenses that cover that range. See which focal length you use more. It doesn't matter which lens is more useful to OTHER people, but which is more useful to YOU and your uses.

Of course I don't own either, but I'd definitely go for the 35mm on a cropper.

I do have the two 50mm's and I find that I use that range quite a bit. I have no reason to own three of them, let alone the two I currently have. It's just the 50 1.8 is hard to get rid of because it was so cheap. If I were to get the 50L, the 1.4 would go to a new home. I had the Canon 28 1.8USM and found the range VERY useful but I found that it was a bit flaky when it came to auto-focus/sharpness. That's why I'm leaning a bit towards the 35L.

I am leaning toward the 35.

I would also go for the 35 L for a crop body.

im agreeing with him, crop body will make it like a 50 so go for the widest you can.
what camera?

Thats what I was figuring. I've got a 7D and 50D.

lol that sounded wrong but you get me.
btw where are you buying them at?
amazon? ebay?
i would never buy used becuase of the risk so yeah, although amazon usually has new.
(:

Haha, I got ya. I was going to order them from newegg.

Thanks! Now just have to wait for it to come. Patience is difficult when things like this are on their way, haha.

Good choice. I love my 35L on my 7D, the thing is practically glued on there. Its actually one of the reasons I got the 7D was because I wanted the 35L to be one of my main lenses. The AF on the 50L is just too slow.

On crop 24 or 35.

I have the Sigma 30mm on my 40D and I like it very much, but sometimes I wished it would be a bit wider..
