Title: I wish I could still give this lens 5 stars
Review: No doubt about it, Canon's 35 f/2 is a fantastic little prime, especially considering the design's from a quarter century ago. It's still my go-to lens for no-flash indoor photography, or any situation involving a shallow depth of field. Its focal length is great for full-frame and crop cameras alike. The focus ring's a little lackluster, but what do you expect for the price?Unfortunately, I've started to cheat on this lens occasionally with my new 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake. Sure, the 40 isn't quite as fast, and the field of view is a little narrower. But it's very quiet compared to the 35's ridiculously loud zoom motor, and it's much more compact.Canon should consider doing a direct update of this lens. As DSLRs evolve to shoot video and be smaller, it's important that one of Canon's most-used lenses keep up.
