Hi, I am looking to purchase a wide aperture prime lens for a friend who is using the Sony NEX 5N.
She's currently using the 16-50mm F3.5-5.6 kit lens but seldom uses any zoom.
She mostly uses her camera for food pics and group/landscape pics when traveling. I'm considering the 35mm F1.8 but I'm not sure if the field of view would be too narrow? I don't think she is the type to change lens much at all.
Alternatives would be 20mm F2.8 or Sigma 19mm F2.8... but the improvement in aperture from F3.5 doesn't seem significant to me.
Advice, please?
