I voted for the 35 for the more normal field of view it gives, but for my 35, I chose the DA35/2.8 macro. Granted, it is slower than the FA35, but it also offers 1:1 macro, which makes it even more useful as a walkaround lens.

With that being said, I definitely believe that there's enough room in anybody's bag for both a 35 and a 50. Not only is the 50 faster, it also pairs nicely with extension tubes for closeup shooting. There are so many "flavors" of the 50, both AF and MF that it doesn't hurt to check them all out--the K, M, and A series for manual and the F and FA series for autofocus.
