[QUOTE="skene, post: 146623, member: 13155"] Both the 40mm 2.8G and the 35mm 1.8G will both be good lenses. However owning both, I would go with the 40mm 2.8G as it is a decent all around lens. Much better doing portraits vs the 35 and the ability to get up close and super personal with macro shots. While the 35mm 1.8G will be better in low light situations, it shouldn't be the end all as the 40mm is somewhat decent as well. The only one gripe that I have with the 40mm is that it is a much slower lens to AF, but if/when you are working on a stationary object MF may be easier to control. The bokeh is amazing on the 40mm and really you would have nothing to lose. You should however bring your camera with you to your local camera shop and try out both lenses so that you can see what you really are missing. However I don't think you would miss much from not picking the 35mm. My 35mm 1.8G stays in my bag 90% of the time. I get more use on the 50mm 1.8D and 40mm 2.8G. GL. [/QUOTE]
