Canon EF35mmf1.4 or RF35mmf1.8 - toni-a - 11-13-2023
I have Canon 35mmf1.4 MK I and I am absolutely happy with it: razor sharp, excellent colors and rendition, top notch low light performance, I carry it almost all the time.
There's an offer here for Canon RF35mm f1.8, AND i might sell mine for the price of the RF so it would be practically a swap, should I do it ?
I am leaning to stay with my lens as it is really great and I don't mind its big size what do you suggest ?

I agree with Rover. If it ain't broke, and you are happy, don't swap it.
The RF 35 F/1.8 would only be a lens to swap out if you need something lighter and smaller, there would be no other, real reason to obtain it, IMO.

What in most painful, is that when I was a student or when I was single, working in Lebanon I had plenty fo time and opportunities to shoot but didn't have the money to get gear.
Now in Qatar, I have plenty of money, I can get any gear I want, but between a 46 hour/6 days working schedule and family obligations no time to go out and shoot.....

The story of our lives... I remember being ever hungry for gear (first computers, then cameras) when I was young, but never had any money to buy decent stuff for the longest time. Then, it flipped around: I started having money but didn't really want anything anymore.
And now, my beautiful Nikon Z9 (though with the screen protector smashed...) and the posse of Canon L and Tamron lenses are gathering dust as I'm relegated to desk work for the time being.
