A cropped 35 an extended 90 an incredible classic. That's how i see that. 50's' you can't live without 'em! It's a law!!!! ====================================================================== I can live without a 50! Honest! But only because I have an Elmarit-R 60mm macro, which is as good as any 50 I've ever seen, despite its max. aperture of f/2.8. It makes a superb "standard" lens and is especially useful for full-length portrait shots. I use it for most of my photography. If I need a bit more width and/or speed, I use my Summicron-R 35. If I want a tighter portrait, e.g. head and shoulders or head only, then my Elmarit-R 90 fits the bill.
