What is your purpose? I would prefer 50mm f/1.8G cause its a FX lens, but 35mm suits better for crop sensor.

So it has to be those Chase Jarvis, Louis Pang etc level is required?

Then no choice lor, jump to the bright side then.

I often read this that Louis Pang mentioned he bought every single Nikon's products with his own wallet and not being sponsored. And that usually come when there's debate happening between Canon vs Nikon thingy. Probably one of their procedure that we may not know, but I hardly see Louis promoting Nikon or showing off himself with Nikon. Unlike so photographer at his level, one of their introduction is their camera history which bear the big logo of Canon sweat.gif

cropped sensor honestly i think get the 35mm, i got the 35mm and i use my friends 50mm.
50mm bokeh is better but when in a tight spot in indoor 35mm makes much more sense .
just my 2 cents

This is a very common answer and yet the answer that only the person that using it can tell. It depends on what you want to shoot and how you want to shoot it. At certain condition or style, a 50mm may be more preferable than 35mm and vice versa.

Given asking about opinion, I'll pick the 50mm at anytime than the 35mm. If to go wide, I'll go wider than 35mm.

how is that possible?

if you prefer 35 on DX, that means you like that range, that means around 50 on FX. smile.gif

Well if that's the case then I guess he likes Nikon a lot... or Canon doesn't offer him? (unlikely???)

You scared me, I was wondering how come he's the #1 worldwide... in Msia probably yes. But worldwide kinda interesting... cause many of the pros around gets to play with the prototypes... I wonder if Louis gets his hands on one of them as well...

BTW, I have known some of the pro photogs prefer Nikon over Canon. Not to mention some Canon pro photogs do mention they love Nikon's system more. But why they didn't migrate, didn't shared laugh.gif

If migrate due to "X camera produce better skin tone" that is really laughable laugh.gif

Because they have contract with Canon perhaps? Canon probably tie them down for a certain period then sponsoring some of their gears perhaps.

Well, the pro photog that using Canon shared that he likes Nikon system, did not mention color tone or white balance. Instead, the sharpness, ISO performance and AF system of Nikon that being mentioned.

I think other pros outside of Malaysia get treated better by Nikon. Canon in Malaysia is just doing what Canon generally does for their pros worldwide.

Anyway, if I get to charge a cool 5 figure for every wedding shoot, I too can buy every Nikon with my own pocket money. No sweat. biggrin.gif
