Sigma 35mm DG II Art Lens
Best professional prime for wedding and portrait photographers.
This is the rare prime that manages to be both a workhorse for street photography and a precision tool for video. By shedding significant bulk without sacrificing optical sharpness, it becomes an effortless daily carry, though you sacrifice the sheer, heavy-duty build of older, larger glass.
