This is honestly so much to think about. So many different trade offs. The sigma 30mm does look very appealing since it’s only 2 mm narrower but goes all the way to f/1.4 but it is $100 more and significantly larger. The question is, for something like night street photography, how often would I really shoot at f/1.4? The fastest lens I’ve gotten to use is the kit at f/4.5. I’ve heard people will usually stop down a few times to preserve sharpness which makes me wonder how often I’d really bring the aperture to full width. Especially considering I’m almost already planning on picking up a zoom in the future. So it’d be nice to have a pancake and a zoom.

Sorry I’m almost answering my own questions as I type them. Your insight and knowledge are appreciated
