You will find yourself using lower speed film just to get the effect of the 75/1.4 wide open. The real danger is that you will fall into the same trap that I have and begin mounting different lenses on different bodies...which really drives up the cost of the lens (<grin>). The 75/1.4 is really the best lens that I own for what I like to take pictures of (i.e. people). The out of focus areas is simply stunning in the transition. If you can, carry the 75/1.4 and 35/1.4 and you will have virtually every situation covered for rangefinder use.
