A bit more versatile because i have three lenses with it. I was lucky to acquire a 100/2.8, which is fast for MF. But the 55 is a 6.3 and the 150 a 5.6. Not really an issue for me because this camera will only be used for landscapes made with a tripod. I received my first roll of velvia back a few days ago and it is a real delight to see a 6X9 slide on the light table. Michiel
