Subject: Re: I need M lens suggestions....28...or 90?

i'd get a better 50, one that can go a bit closer because i shoot a lot of
faces.  either a summi 50 dr or a collaps elmar or summi, if you can find a
sooky-m adapter.

if that doesn't interest i wud definately go with a 90, again because of
people.

however, if you shoot 'scapes, land or city, a 28 is obviously invauable,
but your 35 could get you through most of that.

i don't have my reference stuff near at hand regarding angles of
acceptance, but 28 to 35 is 7, whereas 50 to 90 is 40, thereby giving you a
very different lens.

also i believe the 90 will get you more uses more often (even a bit of
sports for instance, like i did last weekend) than the 28, which i see as a
specialty lens, whereas the 90 should be in everyone's bag.  the 28 and the
135 are on the outside of daily use, 35, 50, 90, very useful...

let us know...
