Mitch - I generally use the lens close up and wide open. I find that if I\'m at mid distances, I\'m a lot more comfortable framing with a 50. And the bokeh of 50mm lenses are usually a lot more pleasant at medium distances.
When shooting weddings, I use the 35FLE when I\'m in the tick of things, or need to add a little more of the environment to my subject shots. Even with groups, I try to use the 75APO and just back up if possible.
Although at first I disliked the bokeh, the more I used the lens, the more I preferred it over the older 35ASPH. It did take a LONG time for me to feel that way though. But the colors are just so amazing, it\'s worth the switch. Again, not to say I don\'t like the 35ASPH, it\'s a great lens, and one of the few lenses I do regret selling.
One thing to note. I have used it to shoot architecture in cities I\'ve visited. I find it gives me the same sort of rendering I get from the SEM lenses when I use it in that way. But of course @ 1.4, its far more flexible for night scenes.
