They feel very 50mm (slight telephoto) to me. Are you sure this was the 35mm and not the 50mm?

Yup, I may be old dirt to and forget to update the mount adapter table, but my memory is still good enough for me to know what lens I was using. Plus I often slightly crop images to improve the composition.

I guess that's what threw me off. Actually, if I had a 35mm I would often do the same, as I usually like it either wider or narrower!

I usually crop to get rid of something that ruins the image to me and I brought a lens that's too wide or I have no room to maneuver. That was the case here. I was on the far side of a busy road. If I crossed the road, I would have been too close and if I stood in the middle on the yellow line which would be the perfect distance, you would'nt be reading this because most likely I would be dead.
