Jeff S Posted December 11, 2016 Share #3 Â Posted December 11, 2016 The focal length that suits your shooting style and preferences, not ours. Â After that, there are differences between versions in rendering (and of course speed), but again much of that depends on your output (screen versus print) and overall workflow. Â Â Some get by with one lens, some have dozens. Â GAS is often involved. Â Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Q Posted December 11, 2016 Share #7 Â Posted December 11, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) The logical choice would be a 28 or 35. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
james.liam Posted December 11, 2016 Share #8 Â Posted December 11, 2016 1+ for Lambda and Jeff S. Â Only you know what subjects and style of shooting you do. Save yourself the trouble of buying your way through several wider FL's by first renting a 21, 24 and/or 35 first. Â A second-hand Ricoh GR or Nikon P&S 28mm (equivalent) goes for very little and will give you a taste of that FL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herr Barnack Posted December 11, 2016 Share #12  Posted December 11, 2016 I would recommend either a 28mm or a 35mm in the maximum aperture of your choice.  I currently have the 28 Elmarit ASPH and the 35 Summicron ASPH. Both are outstanding and the 28 and 35 focal lengths are almost interchangeable - almost; there are subtle differences. I previously owned the "old" version of the 28 Summicron ASPH (which was released in 2000) this lens was truly excellent in its own unique way, too.  In my view, the ultimate all-around wide angle pair would be the 28 Elmarit ASPH paired with the 28 Summilux ASPH. If I were to choose just one all-around wide angle, it would e the 28mm Summicron ASPH (newest version). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spydrxx Posted December 11, 2016 Share #13 Â Posted December 11, 2016 That's like asking "I just ate french fries, what should I order to eat next". Silly question! You should consider checking into whatever focal length lens achieves what you are unable to accomplish with the lens you currently have, or augments it to more effectively produce the desired result.

FrozenInTime Posted December 11, 2016 Share #14 Â Posted December 11, 2016 Kivis, Most of photos on your flickr are of social events indoors: Â The 35mm summilux excels in this situation - giving a noticeable different perspective to the 50mm.

TheGodParticle/Hari Posted December 11, 2016 Share #15 Â Posted December 11, 2016 Buy the whole range from 18 to 135. Shoot them all. Keep what you like and sell the ones you don't like in the Classifieds section. Â Â Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelwj Posted December 12, 2016 Share #20 Â Posted December 12, 2016 +1 for lambda and TheGodParticle. Your next lens should be nothing or everything. As Jeff S said, it's personal. We can't help you as much as we'd love to. And for the record, after eating fries, you should order either a burger or ice cream, depending on if you ate the burger before the fries or not.
