I have a nice 35 1.4 that I use for night time pictures of local bands and a few zooms. I'm surprised how good that fantastic plastic 50 feels every time I throw it on. It really is my favorite choice. I love my 50 1.8. I have a nice 35 1.4 that I use for night time pictures of local bands and a few zooms.

I put this on my Christmas wish list and am now experiencing more subtle color distinctions, artful depth of field, and a new world of lower-light photography as you mentioned. - Richard Thanks, D’Arcy.

I want to find a cheap one, though (maybe used?) since I can't justify 700 clams on a lens right now... Yeah. the 10-22mm is my next lens.

I really like how the street lights give that orange glow to everything, Great for Halloween. Now that I have my 200, the last lens I am lusting for now is the 10-22 if I can find it cheap, Otherwise I'll be stitching for a while yet.
