Hi everybody,
Magnification on the 20mm is 0.14 and it's 0.13 on the 20-35... How can
this be with such a difference in closest focusing distance.
In my opinion, it's getting harder and harder to choose between these two
fine lenses.
I've tried taking pictures with both, and it hasn't been conclusive, as the
20-35 is just about as sharp as the 20mm; in some instances, I had the
impression that the 20mm was superior, but by a very slim margin.
I must decide soon, because I'm going to NYC for Easter, and I will want to
use the one I will have chosen...
Maybe I should go for the 20-35 because it's probably easier to use for
travel pictures, even though I already have the 28-135 IS lens.
Help!!!
