Canon FD 35mm f/2 vs 28mm f/2.8

[dmoreno]

What do you think will be more useful Canon FD 35mm f/2 or Canon FD 28mm f/2.8?
Because of the GH1 2x crop I know the wider 28mm would be more of a "normal" lens. The 35mm gives you an extra stop and thus more low-light sensitivity.
I plan on using them for fictional stuff but also possibly for event videography.
Thanks!

The 35mm f/2.0 has so far been my favorite lens on GH1. I say get it and keep looking for a 28mm f/2.0, they do exist.

Thanks! Actually I was bidding on ebay today for a 28mm f/2 but got outbid. will have to keep on looking!

I wouldn't advise going for the FD 28mm f/2.8. I tried one on my Letus and it vignetted pretty badly (though the GH-1 would probably crop that out). My copy was little soft at f/2.8. I agree with Martti that FD 28mm f/2 would be a better choice.
