Hello Dawid,
I had the 35f2, but traded it for a 40f2. It is not that wideangle,
but is very compact and a good performer wide open.
Well, mine is, and now the standard lens on the 5D. There are varied
opinions on this lens as well, so I guess there might be some sample
variation? Or some use it without hood, and some with. I always use it
with hood since that improves handling very much.
You control aperture by turning the (large) hood.
