Hi Robert,

I didn't realize contrast could be that different from wide open to one stop
down...? After looking again I wonder if the 75 is a little underexposed
compared to the other two? Everything seems a little darker in general.

I like the 90 focal length jump from the 50 I have now but with my .58 it'd
be a challenge I think. I will probably get a 1.25x at the same time I pick
up a tele lens. Thanks for the input and the samples!
