I say this because really, for a low light portrait lens, you want a little longer focal length so your subjects dont look so distorted.
Nah. I'd trade my 50 for the 35 in a second. It is a good portrait lens, but that is all it is good for. It's too long for a lot of general use. 35mm has equally nice bokeh, but is usable in so many more situations.

Not hardcore by any means here. I used to do some fun shots with my 35mm Canon RebelG...but that's a bit obsolete now. Those pictures don't scan in well.

Travel & Work Camera for fantastic pictures on the move:
Body: Sony Powershot DSC-T300
Lenses: Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens

Typical DSLR:
Body: Canon Digital Rebel XT (factory package & lens)

Attached Spain mountains and a message in a bottle (or...beer...mmmm...beer...).

I had been using a 40D with 24-105 f/4L IS. Then I bought a PowerShot S95. ---- me, I'm impressed at what this little thing can do. I have little desire to carry around a heavy SLR now.

I also have a macro filter that is quite lame, nothing compared to my old 100mm manual focus Pentax macro

fwiw- extension tubes are nice budget approach for macros. Better than a macro filter (way more depth of field) and way less than a macro lens. They come on eBay for cheaps in good condition too.

I really need to get my shoot on with the 24mm, I think I have used it once since I picked it up :(
