Just for fun - 50mm 1.8 S vs 35mm 1.8 S

I was doing some lens testing betweens these too, nothing crazy but I was surprised how little difference there was. I'm a big fan of focusing up close with just about any lens because I feel like that's where the biggest differences are. I'm also trying to decide between them as I really don't need both.

While the 50 1.8 S gets close, the 35 1.8 S gets noticeably closer.

But rendering wise they are pretty much the same. So I find it funny how people think the 35 1.8 S has better rendering over the 50 1.8 S when I find them to be the same.

Like I said, this is no scientific, just for fun

Aye, the 35mm is much nicer imo.

Have both and they are significantly better than their f mount predecessors, especially wide open. Playing around with your gear is a great way of getting an idea of how it will perform when you use it. Thanks for reminding me I need to do more of that.
