However, the .72 is definitely better with the 50, and is more than terrific with the 35. You can use a 28 on it with a finder, although some claim they can use the 28 without a finder on the .72 - I can't as I wear glasses, but you may be able to. You will definitely need a finder with a 24 with either body. If you aren't going to get a 28 at some point, I'd opt for the .72...but it is a really personal choice. B. D.
