Re: Second Prime Lens: 60 or 50?

Well thank you guys for the overwhelming responses!

Apparently there's no consensus over which lens is "best" - in my case that is, no lens is objectively "better" than the other.

My takeaway from hearing all of you kind people is that, despite its flaws, the 60 has some "magic" quality to it that seems to be missing on newer lenses (one might argue that this is due to the older lenses being... worse? If you get what I mean), while the 50 is optically superb but I've heard way less people actually "falling in love" with it.

Tomorrow I'll have the chance of trying them both and finally decide. I'll keep you posted!
