nubs Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 I currently own a 7D and am want to take some excellent portraits, landscapes, and night pictures. Considering that the 7D is a crop sensor, should I go for the 35? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argote Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 For portraits I'd say look into the 85 or maybe even the 135mm range, then again it depends on what you consider a comfortable working distance. As for the lenses, I have no experience with either of them but I've heard the 50/1.2 is not quite up to the level of other "L" lenses, I'm not sure how much truth there is to that statement. EDIT: I just read you said landscapes, in that case the 35 is your best bet, though you may want something even wider for it. What lenses do you currently have?

Kerm Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 On a crop sensor a 50mm would be pretty long for landscapes. 35mm is a great focal length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0moonman0o Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 on a crop i would go for a 35L cuz it's more versatile focal length. both are great lens, however the 50L does have focus shift from like f2 to f4 or something like that. If u plan to shoot wide open most of the time, u won't really notice it. my 35L is one of my most used lens, the 2nd most use lens is a 50 1.4 AFS nikon on my nikon bodies. u really need a fullframe body to really see how good the 35L is.

sanctified Veteran Posted August 26, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 26, 2010 As many have said, on a crop take the 35mm, hell I would take the 35mm even on a full frame, just a step over the 50mm but more versatile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nubs Posted August 26, 2010 Author Share Posted August 26, 2010 good information guys thank you. I will go with the 35mm. When I eventually get a FF sensor I am sure that I will be glad I went with it. I currently only have the kit lens. Basically if I get the 35mm 1.4L I will get the 50mm 1.8 for 100 bucks as I hear it is an excellent lens for it's cost. But I wanted to have at least 1 high quality L lens to start. edit: The kit lens is the EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
