Originally posted by NicoleAu 35mm might be too wide for portraits and will likely be fairly unflattering. I was in the same situation and went and got a FA 50. However now I'm lusting after something with a longer length as I find I have to be closer to people than I would like with the 50...
Sounds like you know where I'm coming from then. One thing I was considering is the fact that the FA 50 is getting harder to find new were the DA 35 f2.4 is something I could pick up later but then again later I would hope to be able to afford something better than the DA 35 f2.4.
I see you have both the M 50 and the FA 50, what is the comparison of the two?
