A 50mm gives you one classic point of view. The Canon FD 35-70mm f/4 gives you options.
With this lens, photography starts to feel a little more playful and a little less limiting. One minute you can shoot a wider café scene, the next you can zoom in for a portrait across the table. You can capture a storefront, then a detail in the window, then a friend walking down the street, all without changing lenses. That kind of flexibility makes it easier to experiment, react, and enjoy the process.
