56mm as necessary with new 35mm?
1

I've come across a couple posts hinting there have been other posts (though I haven't yet found those) stating the new 35mm f2 is such a great lens that the gap with the 56mm f1.2 for portraiture has shrunk, making it less essential than previously (unless you really need the extra focal length or two stops). Is this a widely held view?
