new to photography so i'm having a hard time choosing which one to buy between the Sony 35mm F1.8 or 40mm F2.5. Its mainly for travelling/street photos so the 40mm is more compact but 35mm has better bokeh from reviews i read online.

I'm not really familiar with the specific lenses you're asking about, but in general I'd say 35. It's a little faster, is a little wider, you'll be able to hand hold in lower light easier, it's more "standard", and has a larger dof for zone focusing.

In general, 40s tend to be thinner and sometimes more affordable. I've never seen a 40 that produced images that were objectively better than the next closest 35 or 50, only ones that are good deals, sleeper values, or amazing for their size. Often their size also compromises handling of the focus and aperture settings. They're usually a niche lens.

Personally, I dislike both 35 and 40mm focal lengths and prefer 50 and 28.

Siose (=33) pol (=bridge) in Isfahan, Iran
This beautiful bridge with 33 stone arches is one of my favorite places in Isfahan, Iran. People meet there to enjoy the sunset, to talk to have fun. Friday is a special day because many people gather here unter the bridge in the cold shadow to sing together and to have fun. I also met an Iranian women from the north of Iran and just look at her amazing green eyes.

@Marc2706 She’s absolutely stunningly beautiful. The picture isn’t bad either. Just kidding,by now you have to know I love your photography.

New camera day. I’ve been getting frustrated with the bulk of my Canon slr and will try a new approach: small body, single prime fixed lens, new ecosystem… The camera itself is very pretty and well made.

@louisbosco Will do. I'm just starting to figure out. Those cameras are getting more and more sophisticated and video adds an entire chapter of things to know (or at least be aware of).

amazing pictures @Marc2706
@JDelage congrats and welcome to team Fuji, you won’t regret it. FujiX Weekly is a great place to get started with film simulations which is (in my opinion) what makes shooting Fuji so much fun. Next to the great feel / fun of use of these cameras.

A couple from the weekend. We hiked the western top of Karwendel, which was amazing!
On the last picture you can see the cross from the distance, that we climbed on the second picture
