Debating between Sigma 20mm / 24mm / 35mm Art

35mm would be more on my style since I can do full body portraits with this. On the other hand, the 20mm would be easier to handle on a 5D4 and Gimbal if I do video since it'd be 36mm with the crop. The 24mm is kind of just there in between and I'm not too excited over it.

I rarely shoot events unless someone really twists my arm. But for video and events, I appreciate a wider angle so this is where I lean towards 20mm, since it gives me something I don't have. Plus it's a very interesting focal length and aesthetic at 1.4. The 35mm would be more handy for everyday use but I would likely still use the 85mm over 90% of the time since I really like 85mm for closeup and full body portraits. There's just the occasional time I want a wider angle and for people, 35mm would be more ideal.

I'm mainly thinking (writing) outloud, but I'd love opinions or comments for anyone that has chosen between the 20mm and 35mm.

I had a very good 35mm and all I can say is that, if you aren't really a fan of the focal length then even very good image quality can't sway you in the end.

I have to be careful how high I am shooting on full body portraits at 35mm. And it doesn't managed to squeeze that much in for landscapes either.

I sold on my 35mm prime.

It's impossible to really be sure about something completely outside your experience, so I think you should practice with 20mm on a zoom first, if you have one.
