We’re curious about the age long debate for you guys. While every photographer is taught that 50mm lenses give you a more normal perspective closer to what the human eye sees, many photographers have made very valid arguments for the 35mm field of view.

We’d love to hear your thoughts though. Click the poll below and also let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
