35mm F2.0 for *ist-Ds

[Mark Erickson]

All, 

I have a *ist-Ds that I've been using a lot for family and baby pictures.  
Rather than use the 18-55 I got with the camera, I've been shooting with 
either my FA 50mm F1.7 or my FA* 24mm F2.0.  I like the slightly long 
perspective with the 50mm lens for portraits and the 24mm does nice duty as 
a moderate wide-angle lens. 

I've been thinking about splitting the difference with a 35mm F2.0 lens, but 
I'm a little concerned that that normal perspective will be neither wide 
enough nor long enough.  That said, I see that a number of folks on the list 
shoot with lenses like the 31 Ltd, the FA 35, or the 43 Ltd.  Any thoughts 
and input on the utility of the 35mm lens with various subjects would be 
appreciated. 

Thanks, 

Mark
