I like to almost see them with my glasses on with the .72. And I do a lot of work with 90's and 135's with the .72 and no problem. I like the .72 and am getting another one. If they made a .60 I would strongly consider it. I don't' think the .85 is all that different but mathematically it gives you an edge with the longer lenses they say. Mark Rabiner
