Soon we will have threads asking which lens to get? 24mm or 35mm?
plus will Nikon release 20mm 1.4 and 28mm 1.4 in future?

Nope.. frankly speaking after getting the 24mm F1.4 and compare it with the sigma 30mm F1.4( i know not a fair comparison due to different focal Length).. i dun feel the extra $$$ over the sigma 30mm f1.4 is really worth it.. the HSM is faster then the AFS...only consolation is the wider focal and the nano coating.
For 35mm focal length there are more contenders like the 35mm F1.8 is a superb and cheap lens and the cheap FX 35mm F2.0.. and the gem Sigma 30mm F1.4.. For those shooting DX .. DX lens is cheaper and lighter.. unless really going into FX..
For me personally i only need the 24mm F1.4 and the 85mm F1.4 for FX walk about .. else it would be sigma 30mm F1.4 or the AFS 35mm F1.8 and perhaps the 50mm F1.4 or 85mm F1.8 as general walkabout.
some of us are using FX and the sigma 30 f1.4 is not an FX lens.
Then no choice have to get fx f1.4 lens and is super expensive and heavy. For me I have both fx and dx bodies.. To most of us hobbyist dx is more then enough.

I will definitely sell my 24-70 and 50. Pick up 35 and maybe a 85D or 85G (depends on how much I have left in my wallet)
I think buy what u need and the setup that can adapt to ur style..
Aren't u compromised on the wide if u do that?

or AF-S 17-35 f/2.8, which could cover both 24 and 35 length

It's bound to happen. If no one started it, I am sure I will
Choosing 24mm or 35mm is a good dilemma rather than having only 24mm to choose for, lol

I shoot only primes and I have been using a setup of 24mm and 35mm, with the occasional use of the 50 and even more rarely, some kind of telephoto...
24 and 35 are very different focal lengths and gives different perspectives; there's no need to choose either/or
Same here! What I have is not enough to raise the cash!

The 35mm f1.8 is so cheap. If anyone decides to choose between the 35mm f1.8 or the 35mm f1.4, it will probably be:
1) FX or DX user
FX users may want to use a 35mm lens designed for FX body instead of the 35mm f/1.8 which was designed for DX.
2) Need for f1.4
For smooth bokeh lovers or for photographers who really need to shoot with a super fast lens.
3) Too much money to spend
I had a chance to use the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 and I loved the bokeh. The Sigma is so much cheaper to own and I wouldn't mind paying a premium of $200 for the 35mm f/1.4 from Nikon but not over $2k.

I'll consider the new Samyang 35mm F1.4...If their 14mm 2.8...85mm 1.4 and their 8mm fisheye are any indication...Its a good bet this new lens will give the Nikon a good run for a lot less investment!...

Note that the Samyang lenses are all manual focus devices.
