35/1.4

56/1.2

I would recommend either the 35 or 56. I prefer the 56 as it is less intimidating because of greater distance. But the 35 is more versatile, cheaper and absolutely brilliant as a one lens setup. I consider the 35 is all you need and the 56 is fun to have.

I can only second to look for good light, I have used quite a few camera and lens combos to take pictures of my kids and it was always the light that made them special.

I don’t really think that a modern lens can be focusing too slow, if kids move fast it’s always hard to get them into focus.

Its the quieter moments that I’m always looking for.

Enjoy what you are doing, take your time, don’t push or stress them with your camera, wait for the right moment and mood and you will be pleased by the results.
