35mm 1.4 L or the 24-70 2.8 L for portraits and weddings?

I use to own the 24 1.4 L mkI and I loved it on a 1.6 (38.4 mm). When I upgrade to 5DmkII I found it too wide for personal liking. Now I crave the 35 1.4 in a very bad way.


I also own the 24-70 and I love this lens but if you don't need the versatility, I'd recommend the 35 1.4.

Keith. As soon as you're able, you need to treat yourself. We all need you to treat yourself []





Nevermind, I just scrolled down and saw that you did. Good for you! *high five*

Yeah I caved. I was tired of you taunting me.


I cleared of my Bill Me Later account and took the plunge. I've only shot about 20 shots with it goofing around but I'm already in love. I don't think I ever take it off 1.4.


It is so much better than my 40D/24 1.4 combo. The bokeh is so much smoother and the images are way sharper.
