So, I just received the 35/1.4 in the mail this evening. Oh my…how delicious it is. Such a nice focal length on full frame, and can blow out the background like no-one's business. I've only taken a few cat shots and the like so far, but I have a good feeling about this lens. I must say, the kit is getting solid…although I am missing a macro lens and long tele…but those will come with time. The nice thing about the 35/1.4 is it actually enables me to take shots that would not be possible _at all_ with the lenses I already have. So, as much as I sound like a gear whore right now, I'm pretty happy about my purchase. Here are a couple shots I got off before the sun set.
Honestly, the reason I bought this lens now rather than waiting until spring / summer when shooting will ramp up is that buying now means I get to geek out with it over the holidays with my family. Super excited for that alone.
Best of everything to you.
