I love the FA 35/2 on the *istD. It's my "normal" lens. I shot this
little BW gallery using only that lens:

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
