Yeah, I know, don't remind me. :(  I can probably stand to use nothing but
my 50 for a full year anyway--there's not much I can't do with it.  The
biggest limitation in my experience so far is adequate depth of field for
quick shooting; but I can always move up to higher speed film for that.

I do prefer the wider view for street shots.  I'm tempted towards the
24/Hexar RF combination that Joseph Yao has advocated here, but fear the 24
may be just a tad too wide (and distorted) for candids.

Cheers,
Dan
