I think 28 cron or even elmarit would be great for environmental portraits. If you already have a 24/1.4 it would be more of a luxury option though. To answer your question a 28 and 35 is completely different especially in close to medium distances. You're going to have a lot more dof with the 28. It also makes it easier to incorporate the environment when you're shooting in enclosed spaces like your studio. Nice tele btw 
EDIT: I know this won't help but if you want a really good environmental portrait lens you might want to consider the 21 distagon.

There are a bunch of great 35s but the 28 Cron is really the benchmark 28 in all respects, and as good or better than any 35 in many respects. It's truly a low light lens as well, easier to shoot down at very low shutter.
The prices are down alot for the 28 also, with one easy to find for 2600. The 35 asph is seen often now for 1850--and just as good really is the ZM 35/2 at only around 650.
But in use the lengths are very different. The 28 is a true wide angle lens with some DOF options thrown in. If yo can fund the 28 cron, I would say find a nice one for a good price and get it. You can always sell laterMany thanks I'm looking for something that will handle environmental portraits in tighter spaces, I use my Nikkor 24 f/1.4G on my DF lot's alongside my M with 35 Cron but keep thinking 28mm may be a sweet spot.

Coogee, really like the 1st one. Many things are happening in the reflections.
Charlie, great set. excellent light and the subject matter is very interesting.
Rene, nice to see some kind of color 2nd shot is my favourite.
Joakim, very nice urban sunset. 1 and 2 are the best ones imo.

Rene, I really like your work. Curious, you seem to shoot pics at elevated architectural elements...how to you get those shots? Access to rooftops?

Thank you very much Cris
am getting too old to climb on roofs :-)
Freiburg is built on a hill . Therefore, it has many places where you are at eye level with the roofs.
Best regard

A few wide open shots with the C-Sonnar handheld. The closeups are with a 10mm extension tube.

Superb MM portrait, Bijltje
TY so much, Edward
Since my A7.mod is shooting the 50 cron so well, I'm carrying two bodies and don't swap lenses as much at the moment. The 28 is earning it's keep on the M9

I'm waiting on the supply delay with my a7r to get the mod done.
I tried using the a7r at the weekend (with Minolta glass) after a few weeks getting into the m9, wow it felt weird/clunky! RF focussing is spoiling me fast.

Charlie, great colors (or colours if you prefer ). Carrying two cameras without swapping lenses is a nice treat. I think I'll try that with my Ricoh GR and a fifty on my M9.
