best pic - 28 or 35 ?

kewl. 60 to 120.

35 is my go to, along with 85 (in the SLR world) though lately I'm liking 25 a lot as well.

I have a 28 on my G2 but I find it too wide, I will be buying a CV 35 for my M6.

I also find 28mm too wide... and too narrow, and just right... plus the same can be said for 35, 40, 50... But I do have a 28 (or its other-format equivalent) for every system I use; it's a necessity. I like a lot of my pics shot with the 28 field of view, and I suspect my favorites are in that group. I have only a couple of 35's, which have gotten less use, but more in the 40-45 range that might produce favorites too, yet that's outside the scope of the poll. 🙂

One of the first snaps I took with my first Hexar RF & 28mm M-Hex. W. 34th Street, NYC, Feb. 2002. Fuji Press 400.

With less than full frame sensors on digitals (M8 for example) do you think there will be a move away from 35 to 28?

 

[reagan]

between 28 and 35, which focal length has given you your best shots, as in, the pics you like the most?

I vote "yes." 😉

This is a close finish... I like the dynamics of a 28mm shot. But I would not want to mis my 35mm Biogon.

Good to see this thread resurrected. Definitely whatever gets me closer to a 35mm FOV. Usually a 28 on a crop sensor body. 35 full frame.

 

[luuca]

definitely 35mm

in fact I'm still wondering why I bought an elmarit 28 asph that sits for all the time in my bag...

28mm for me. I carefully selected a lens that would give me a useful 42mm focal length on the R-D1 but a nice wide size on the M4-P and also a fast lens. I'm very happy, if I want to switch from 28mm to 40mm I switch my body!

Generally 28mm really suits me and the sort of pictures I take. It feels very 'open' and natural, like widescreen, and isn't so wide that the picture becomes like an 'effect'
