Small lens is one thing, but the versatility of a high end zoom is extremely nice to have... ah, maybe he meant 28 1.8? I dunno lol. But price maybe a factor?

So really this needs to come down to focal length or aperture. 28mm is really quite wide on a 5D while 35mm is more of a wide-normal. Taylor

Or even an updated 35/2 with better bokeh. I want a 35L so badly but the fact that it costs more than all of my lenses combined is a big turn-off.
