mmmmmmm listed at $600 each
 
VC is nice, but I don't need it. Personally, I only need IS, VR, VC, or whatever they want to call it, if the lens is over 85mm.
 
what's the point of VC in a wide prime? although, if the optics is up to par, might get this over the Sigma 35 1.4 Art ($900)

Yeah on a prime it seems kinda pointless, you're usually close enough that you don't see much vibration, unless you suffer from serious shaky hands you can just get the nikkor/canon 1.4 and save yourself 300 bucks, their IQ is superb for the price

Low light situations like at weddings if you can drop the shutters speed by 3 stops.....and get the correct exposure with no blur....

I got my nikkor 50 1.4 for 350 a few months ago.... their 35 and 85 1.4s are over 1000

yea I don't understand their pricing. If they can make a decent 50mm 1.4 at 400 - 500, why cant they make their 35mm 1.4 for around the same price. I dont shoot much with a 35mm, so i guess I havent experienced the magic yet

I was a wedding photographer once. I used IS on my short range lenses maybe twice. I used it on my 70-200 quite a lot.
It's more for cityscapes, travel, museum, etc.

50mm needs less optical correction since it doesn't magnify (much) nor distort for wider angle.
35mm is a wide angle, needing lots of optical correction, especially for large glass.
It's the reason they can pump out 50 1.8 lenses out like newspaper.
 
Stabilisation is incredibly useful, I find it handy to have even on my Tamron 24-70 when at the wide end of the lens. Means I can get away hand-holding in situations that would otherwise be impossible. Sure I could use a tripod but having that little bit of extra freedom is incredibly handy.
 
was gonna pull the trigger on the 35. But can't justify getting it considering it will be of very limited use. Decided on going with the 24-70 f/2.8 instead
