I can't see the 50mm framelines in the HM without moving my eye around. IMHO, the 75 is usable with the .72, but better with the .85, the 35 is usable with the .85, but better with the .72. Which lens do you use most? Are you a person who loves to use the entire negative, or willing to crop? My best advice is to check out both if you can and then decide which works best for you. If I have the same film in both bodies, I use the 35 & 50 on the .72 and the 75, 90 & 135 on the .85. If the film I want to use is in only one body, I use whichever lens I want. Maybe you have to look around the viewfinder a little, maybe the image is a little smaller, but it still works for me.
