Just got the 35mm 1.8 - why is it so small.

[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 63940, member: 6548"] Your are right Don! I apologize for trying to argue with you. Filter size is irrelevant unless the front element has to be so big as to increase the barrel size. You can have two 50's say one is 1.8 and the other is 1.4. They both will have 52mm filter rings but the 1.4 will have a much bigger front glass element and the barrel will be longer. The old 85's are weird because the 1.8 has the 52mm standard and the 1.4 has this monster light bender on the front of it. The 1.4 is as big as a softball...much larger and heavier than the 1.8.
