So the 24's as sharp, eh? Cool.

Here's my prediction: within the next 12 months you're going to buy another 35. And the reason you'll give is that it equates to a 50mm on a full frame/film body, and that you miss that classic range. :evil

but

i sold it becuase it's *longer* that 50mm on a 1.6x body it works out to 56mm. the 24mm works out to just over 38mm, and i'd rather be wider than not. so, i predict your prediction will be wrong :lol3

Ah, but I raise you with "the 35 has more consistent sharpness esp. at larger aperatures." :lol3

i can't agree to that yet. i think they're equal in sharpness. the reason the 35 gets more reviews is that more folks use it i believe. :dunno

Time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

Now you always say
That you want to be free
But you’ll come running back (said you would baby)
You’ll come running back (I said so many times before)
You’ll come running back to me

Oh, time is on my side, yes it is
Time is on my side, yes it is

You’re searching for good times
But just wait and see
You’ll come running back (I won’t have to worry no more)
You’ll come running back (spend the rest of my life with you, baby)
You’ll come running back to me.


:rofl

[Andy]

actually, on the 20d, the 24L feels sooo much better than the 35L. the 24 is a bit lighter and shorter, and the whole affair balances in the hand better :deal
