Review Summary
2025-12-31T14:00:13
There are weddings and events that are huge and Chaotic where I use a zoom more, but for those where leveraging primes makes sense, I use this 35 1.2s with my 85 1.2s on my other body and it's been saving me time and making me money. I nail people walking towards me in candle light at 1.2, If I stop down, it's because I want a sharper background. It's not idiosyncratic, Some would say they want more "character", which is fine until you look at an image and it's not. Smooth captures from this 35mm lens with backgrounds that aren't distracting are making me money.
