Well, as someone already said about travel gear decisions, they keep changing right until the taxi pulls up.  When I got home yesterday I popped the 3E on the .58 body - lo and behold, the frameline issue I had with it on the Hexar went away, and the lens works perfectly.  So now I'm thinking about taking the .58 and the .72.  That .58 is just such a nice camera.

To directly answer your question, I've only shot the 75 on higher-mag bodies, but I don't forsee a big focus problem on the .58, as long as I'm not shooting close up at 1.4.  It's something I'm going to try out over the weekend.  We'll see.

Paul,

The only thing I would question is the 75 on either of those low mag.
bodies.  Have you found you're able to focus accurately with this
combination (haven't yet tried it myself)?
