Re: Lens Advice

I said it is a specialized lens because it weighs over 400 grams and the focus is pretty slow, also even though it's a 1.2 it hunts in dim light.   It's a thick lens and I notice it on the camera.  You need to understand what subjects you plan on shooting with that lens.  Kids generally move quickly and with a 1.2 the DOF is going to be about 2 inches at 5 feet so pretty hard to nail focus.  A 35 mm F2 is much more versatile due to the wider view, faster shutter speed, much lighter and smaller form factor.
