Leaving for Tokyo next Thursday and desperately need a street lens for my S5. Budget is strictly under $600. Torn between the Lumix 50mm f1.8 and the Sigma 35mm f2. The Sigma is pricier but smaller, while the 50mm is cheaper. Which one should I grab before I fly out?

> Torn between the Lumix 50mm f1.8 and the Sigma 35mm f2. Honestly, for Tokyo? Go with the Sigma 35mm f/2 DG DN Contemporary. I've shot there many times and 50mm feels way too tight in those narrow Shinjuku alleys. The build quality on that Sigma is miles ahead of the plastic Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 too. It fits the S5 perfectly and stays out of the way. Definitely worth the extra cash imo.
