should i buy the newest 50mm or the 35 mm f1.8 ?Â

As I used both 50mm 1.8 and 35mm 1.8 as well as 50mm 1.4G
I found out they serve a different thing.
and I just realize it lately.
35mm and 50mm can be used for portrait in ASP-C sensor. that is true, however 35mm give your a wider coverage.
that makes 50mm more sense for model portraiture instead of 35mm.
however 35mm is better for street IMHO as it is wider therefore it is capable for telling more story.
the other part is MFD,
this part I just realize lately as I shoot figures as well as lens and small2 things lately.
35mm has a closer MFD compared to 50mm.
which is great to shoot small2 action figure or object, I don't say 50mm is not good for shooting object but with 35mm you can get closer.
of course as you get closer to the object the DOF will be different with 50mm.
both works fine and sharp when stop down correctly.
ohh ya. I am new in photography don't quote me on this
