>>50's' you can't live without 'em!
It's a law!!!!<<

When my 35'lux went into the shop, I began using the 50/1.4 again. Received
back the 35 in no time at all (and like new thanks to Sherry Krauter) but
I'm still using the 50. I tried using the 35'lux for a day but in short
order I threw the 50 back on. 

This has nothing to do with optics (and everything to do with optics)! I
mean, the 35/1.4 ASPH is superior to the 50/1.4, no question; particularly
wide open. Ever notice how your vision narrows in lower light situations?
Maybe it's the time of year, but for some reason my eyes are masked with
50mm framelines.
