Claire Yaffa: I Dreamed a Dream

leica:

I do like the 50mm lens because it allows me to focus on more of the subject than a wide-angle 28mm, but I also like the 35mm because it gives me more information than the 50mm. It all depends what I am photographing. When I worked for the New York Times, I used the 35mm more and the 50mm for a closer cropped image. I also used the 28mm then. I used to crop my images, and now, I try to do this in the camera so that when I am developing or downloading the images I do not have to make these adjustments in Photoshop or in the darkroom.
