35L 1.4 or 50L 1.2???Which will be more of a everyday lens?

Save up for the 50 f/1.2.
Yeah, already in. Rounded blades & the ultra smooth focus ring for all my manual focus shots

my vote goes to the the 35mm as a "everyday" lens. 50mm is slightly too tight
Is that from the perspective of a crop or full-frame camera?
Good question. This point was not raised by OP. I have never used prime lens on FF camera, but curious about poll results, especially since we now have two affordable 35 f/2 IS (also, Sigma 35 f/1.4) and 50 f/1.4 lenses on Canon mount.

I'm assuming it is from a FF perspective. Both are great lenses and both can be easily an everyday lens. If your shooting environment is mostly indoor, say places like home or restaurant with families, I will strongly recommend the 35mm focal length. However for street shooting, it really depends on your shooting style.
50mm is like a "mild" portrait lens where you can shoot head or half body portraits easily. And a great street lens if you do not really like to walk up very close to the subject. Taking portraits of stranger is great with this lens as you do not really walk right up in their face. Having a small distance between you and the subject is not a bad thing at all, as it provides a comfort zone for your subject. As for architecture and landscape, it is way too tight.
35mm can easily take full body portraits. Very versatile as a street lens with the ability to include the subject's environment. However if you want to take a half body or head portrait, you got to go up close to the subject with this focal length. Still decent for architectural and landscape work if you have some distance away from the subject.

When the Leica 50mm f/0.95 have an AF version and can be converted to Nikon F/Canon EF mount and AF still works.. Maybe :bsmilie:
The fun part of the 50mm f/0.95 is the manual focus though. Stuffing an AF takes all the fun away.
