Tina Tina, Thanks for the post to the LUGs. Yours is the third response from a 75mm owner. I had an 80/1.4 for my F4 (which I no longer own) and really liked it. My thinking was to have a 75 with a 35 (also my 21), rather than a 50 and 90 with the 35 and 21. Is the 75 easier or harder to hold than the 90 at 2.8 or 2.0 (depending on which lens is used???) BTW the last I heard on the LUG from you was a trip to South America (??) how did it go?? We went to Reston, Va to visit our daughter this fall for three weeks and arrived at the same time as a freeze. The fall foliage was great. Dick Hemingway Norman, OK
