The Normal 50mm Equivalent

As usual, let's do some math.

The king of the lenses here is the CANON 50L f1.2 . The equivalent on a crop is near or less a 32mm f0.7 imaginary lens.

The good news is that at this focal lenght an f2.0 aperture will provide already a good amount of defocused background.

Another good news is that here we have plenty of options:

Canon 28mm f1.8 USM, 45mm eq, for 300€ used, 310g
Canon 35mm f2.0 IS USM, 56mm eq, for 400€ used 335g
Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC HSM, 48mm eq for 250€ used 430g
Sigma 30mm f1.4 DC ART, 48mm eq for 400€ used 435g

I think that the Canon 28mm and the old sigma are 2 very tempting options.

Update...

I got the YN35mm at a nice baregain price. I sold it. It always front focuses and i discovered that i really cannot stand such a problem. Since the old Sigma 30mm EX suffer from similar problems i will pass that too.

I bought a good priced 40mm STM f2.8. Not as fast as the other option nor as wide but really good quality and focus performances.

So now my primes are:

24-40-50

equivalent to

38-64-80

maybe the 40 and the 50 are a bit close than they should but i am almost there (the best solution would be a 37mm, matematically). The 40mm is wider than the 50mm, but is flatter than the 24mm (i like to feel the subject in the frame as much as possible so the 24mm is too much). I feel like a 35mm f2 would be the ideal solution. Surely the 35mm F2 IS would be the perfect solution, it is sharp and good focusing, but it is also priced higer than the sum of the 3 lensesi own actually. Maybe i can find a baregain on the 28mm and see if it can work.
