A fast light sharp optic with some real reach. 66.5 mm's is what it comes out to be. Not quite 75 but its the thought that counts! As lots of people think of a 50 on an M as their optic with reach for portraits not rooms you're still ahead of the game with no longer than 50 mm lenes when you multiply it by 1.33. Also many find working with digital different than film at that with digital you crop a lot more. I crop like crazy when my ISO's are low enough in ideal conditions. It becomes less necessary to bring along a lens for reach.
