If you frequently see an image that you would like with one frame or the other, you'll know which lens to get. It couldn't possibly matter what anybody else thinks is the perfect addition to your system. Nobody else has your eyes, your brain, your sense of style, proportion, composition, etc. Pay no attention to what anyone else thinks you should get. Just flip that lever and see for yourself. ;-) Peter Jon White Peter White Cycles >> Except, it is not really true that you get to see what the lens will display on film. I think you have to look at the pictures taken with each lens to see the real difference. Everything looks the same through the viewfinder regardless of what lens is mounted. I do heartily agree with Peter that no one other than the person behind the camera can decide what he/she likes in the way of a finished product. Regards, Paul Connet
