I do not understand that kind of statement in this day and age.  Since some 
thirty years or so ago, the standard kit lens for a 35mm SLR has been a 
35-70 
(or thereabouts) zoom.  Maybe a little wider and longer nowadays, and I bet 
most if not all persons on this list have had experience with one, so just 
think 
back to how you used it at the time.  Rocket science is not required to make 
a 
decision on 75mm as a useable focal length.
