Hold out for EF 35/2 IS or jump in with classic 35 1.4L
Ew:
I've been lusting for the 35/1.4 since I gave away (to old friend w new baby - shooting w T2i) my 2nd 28/1.8 in July. Just as I was bout to pull the trigger - whammo - options options.
Many rumors of updates for the ol' 35 but that was not an issue for me as it is a great lens - Now!
In comparison, I shoot the 50/1,4 at 2.0+ most of the time. Opening up in really bad light.
In a bizzare state of excitement and confusion over this one. I'll hold off for a couple of days to cool down a bit and review in a sane state of mind.
It doesn't seem that the new 35/2 IS would be a replacement for the 1.4.... Am I wrong??
Thank you in advance for your thoughts.
PackLight:
No, it is not a replacement for the 35mm f1.4L. You didn't see a red ring on the f/2 did you?
Daniel Flather:
My 35L is awesome on the 5D3, get the 1.4L if price is not an issue. The new 35/2IS looks nice. Or, hold out for a few more years for the 35LII. Buy what you want now, or you'll wait forever.
marcosv:
I love my 35L. But, it isn't a small lens, being fairly long.
That 35/2 IS looks a bit closer to the compactness of the 35/2 non-IS. Could be a consideration of you got a bag full of glass.
I think the answer will be how close does the 35/2 IS gets to the 35L optically.
AudioGlenn:
+1 vote for the 35L. Awesome lens. Why wait? If you have the money and you know what you want, get what you want. I don't see a great need for the IS, even for video. I'm sure there's a market for it but the 35L is awesome AND it's already available.
