I thought you meant that because of the wider angle of the lens on a 35 compared to a 50, you got an extra stop of no-wiggle on the shutter speed dial. A 35 is easier to hold rock steady than a 50 at the same shutter speed. So effectively the 35 allows you to shoot in low light at lower shutter speeds than the 50. Your experiences are what you know, so I will not debate the explanation you state below....and. most importantly, it works for you..... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net Steve - I'm not talking about photographing a white wall. I'm referring to photographing a normal scene - in a house, usually for me. The wider view is, the more light I'm taking in normally. That's the way it works for me anyway. I can photograph the same scene with a 35 and a 50 and the 35 gives me a brighter reading of the whole scene. Not spot metering, averaging the whole scene. Tina
