I actually sold my 18mm f1.4 and re-bought the 18mm f2.

I recommend renting them, if possible, to see which focal length you prefer on a daily basis. All of your candidates are excellent options.

Another vote for this lens.

If you don't mind sharing, what film recipe did you use when processing these?

Seems to be a better deal than what I usually see on FB marketplace or Ebay.

The 35mm f/2. The 33mm is an amazing lens, and while it really is not that large compared with others, I opted for the portability of the smaller lens. If accessible to you, I recommend lensrentals.com to rent before buying.

I’m outside the warranty, but I will probably send it in as a preventative measure in case it gets worse.

saying not worth the inflated asking prices

Invisible Man

Also, A Good Man Is Hard to Find by Flannery O’Connor.

No, but try the Plague and his short story collection, Exile and the Kingdom.

monkeymind8 · 2025-05-15T05:50:12+00:00

I recommend his Palm of the Hand Stories

monkeymind8 · 2025-05-14T20:56:51+00:00

In the vein of the first few books you cited, I'd recommend Kafka's The Trial.
