hey guys! so i need a prime lens for my xt10, because its hard taking photos in indoor events with low lighting such concerts. i only had 18-55 f2.8 for now and was thinking to get either 35mm f2 or the newest 50mm f2. i never realky tried both of them, so maybe can someone give me recommendations which one should i choose.

i mostly gonna use them for streetphotography 20% ,indoor events 30%, sports 10%, candid/portrait 40%.

thnaks in advance!

from your usage pattern, I think the 50 may be the better fit

35 is better for street but the 50 can be used albeit at a distance

I figure for sports/indoor events you also need a longer reach so 50 is better than 35

for portraits, 50 would be more flattering

Cheers,
