Better yet, buy it and sell it to me for $400. []

How about $450. Gotta make it worth my while.

Careful Keith, people will actually think you're selling your 35L for $450...I wouldn't kid around like that with a bunch of camera junkies. :-)
Very good point! Junkie is quite right too. I was cold, sweaty and shaking when I bought my 35L and now the images make me quite euphoric.
So your a 35 1.4L addict uh? I know a nice place in VA where you can de-tox.While your recoveringI'll help you out and hold onto that lens for ya....[]
Personally, I like the 50 1.4 on my FF 5D. I used it the other dayto photograph aretirement farewell at the place where I work during the day. Shot at f4 with flash and the photos turned out great.
Someof you remember that was the focal length of the standard "kit lens" for most of the SLR film days.
Many, many, many, many incredible photos were captured at the 50mm focal length on 35mm film. I would even fare tobet that more photos were taken at thatfocal lengththan any other in 35mm film SLR history.
35mm wasthe focal length of the 220 film pocket camera. I always felt like I couldn't get close enough. Great for landscapes and group portraits but not so great for head shots and close ups.
Matt, congrats on your purchase. That's a great all around lens. Nice first shots. My only suggestion would be to comp up a little and/or use a little bounce flash to highlight your subjects better. Indoor lighting never seems to favor faces. The lights seem to always be above and behind the subject. I have found that even with the great low light capabilities of the 50 1.4,a little extra color balanced bounced light really goes a long way in improving myindoor portraitphotos.
It's so funny. I started out with a Pentax K-1000 and a 50 2.0 lens and I always felt like I had to get so far away. I was always trying to get that Anton Corbijn/U2 Joshua Tree look and 50 was never wide enough. Not that 35 is, but that is what I have my 16-35 for. 35 is perfect for what/how I shoot in low light.
I'm glad you like it. I'm sure you will enjoy it a lot. Nice pet photos.
