Hi.

I am thinking of purchasing a new lens for my Canon Rebel xsi.  I want to use this lens for portraits, perhaps landscapes and low light situations.

I think I want a wide angle, fixed. I am looking at two different lenses at the moment and would appreciate information or advice on choosing.  Maybe you have one, used one or know about lenses in general. Or maybe you have another to suggest. 

The first lens is the EF 35mm f/1.4L USM and the second is the EF 24mm f/1.4L II USM. 

As far as I can tell, neither one has Image Stabilization, which I am used to in my other lenses.  I don't know if this is important or not. This will not be a "replacement" lens, but a lens to add to my bag.  I only have three other lenses, two of which came with the camera and the third (my first lens investment) is a f/2.8, 100mm usm is, macro lens. 

Thank you so much,

Melinda
