I own a 40mm F2 and I love it. It is so useful. Your pictures are stunning sir.

My favorite lens is the 35 1.8 S for my Nikon Z6 . It’s really versatile. I’ve had that Sigma 35 1.4 and it’s a great lens . One of my all time favorites .

I'm a Fuji shooter and the 23 1.4 (almost 35) is one of my favorites besides the 16 and 56. When I was a Canon shooter I also had the Sigma 35 and it was almost permanently on my body. If I had to choose it will be the 35 and a 28mm.

There must be something nice on 35 mm when Sony RX1 is using this focal lenght. I have made a statistics of my pictures and most of my favourite shots were done at wide angle (24 mm), but still I decided to go for prime aprox 45 mm (30 mm APSC). These pictures have sort of hidden ability to transform my display into window which makes me feel like I am standing there again. Some certain composition much be present for this effect, but still I appreciate it more than wide angle lens characteristics.

I love the 28mm on my crop Nikon camera giving me 42mm view which I love. Enjoyed your video.

Having the option between 14 24 f2.8 or the 24 70 f2.8 which one would pick up for a travel?

[brandonmeadows]

40mm prime is my go-to! Great Video man👍🏻

[floriangladis]

I have only one Lens at this point with my new Fuji X S10…23mm ( 35) f2. Excellent lens. My next lens will be a zoom for travel.

Have you ever try the 45mm 2.8 for the 645z? I also think that the 55mm is sometime too narrow and I also love the 35mm 1.4 art on Full frame. I miss that lens and wonder if the 45mm 2.8 pentax (35mm f/2 equivalent) would do the job?

[jaapkamstra]

Hey man! Great photo's and a great review! And yeah I agree! When I moved from canon to Fuji, the first lens that I bought was a 23mm 1.4 (apsc) And I really love what it can do. At a vacation it was the only lens I brought, and I love the flexibility of the focal length. But yeah a strange thing these days with social distancing, I nowadays mostly use 56 mm apsc for streetwork. Looking forward to things to open up and be able to travel again..

Do you think a 35 mm lens will be great for a new beauty YouTube channel in your professional opinion?
I just purchased a use Sony a6000 camera and I’m looking to purchase a 24 mm prime lens!

[longsideJones]

My two favorite lenses are the Sigma 18-35 and the Pentax 43mm.

[herrykadir]

My favorite prime lens for travel is Tamron 45mm f1.8 usd vc on my 5dmk iii.

[edshotsdotcodotuk]

The Canon 40mm 2.8 is an amazing lens. Sharper than some of the 2.8 zooms. Pentax 43mm f1.9 is still a unique lens for FF cameras, don't know about performance but big respect to Pentax for making it.
Just about to trade in my Sigma 35mm 1.4 Art for the Sony 35mm 1.8 FE. The Art is amazing just not a good fit with the A7 bodies. 35mm 1.8 FE has a nice close focus and good edge to edge as well. It's maybe over priced by others standards but the performance, features and package seem excellent and it's a lens I'll use a lot. I can recommend the Samyang 35mm 2.8 FE and for the A6xxx the Sony Zeiss 24mm 1.8 E as well.

Why prime lens to begin with regarding a TRAVEL lens? I fully understand the argument that prime lenses are noted to have better acuity...But in today's technology, is that TRULY a significant factor? Yes, compose with your feet, but a zoom lens gives one MUCH more range. Please advise...TY!!!!

35 to 40mm is the perfect focal lenght to capture almost everything.
