Do you do your own processing? Fuji consumer 100 speed C41. It's dirt cheap here. (With some coupons, I got 16 rolls of 24 exposure for about $10.) I'm going through about 8 rolls a week right now. :) Unfortunately, I'm not doing my own. I've been wanting to go back to B&W for a while, but I don't have a darkroom. If I got a negative scanner, then I'd be all set and could bypass prints for the most part. Later, I could add a Jobo for E6 processing for color, and I'd be all set. > I empathize with your decision over the 75 'lux vs. the 90 apo.

I can get away with slower speeds with my 35/2 than I can hand holding a 75 or 90. I'm thinking a 75/1.4 would be able to shoot in the same light as my 35/2. > You may have made the best choice starting with the 35. Lots of folks > feel the 35 and 90 are the best two focal lengths to carry. I'm extremely happy with my choice. Longer to me also means more weight. I could always pull out my SLR if I wanted to go longer. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Send online invitations with Yahoo! Invites. http://invites.yahoo.com
