Any thoughts. Hi Ernie, With the .58, I don't believe you'll find the 75 easy to use, which is a real shame. I find the 75 the absolute best lense I've ever used, right next to the Hasselblad 110/2. I use the 75 and 35/1.4 as my "kit", and find I am not wanting of any other lenses for over %95 of my work. You don't think the Noctilux gives pleasing OOF areas?] I have a 50/1.4 (it's as new, w/ box etc.) that I just never use, since I mostly use the 75 and 35, and the other lense I have is the 24...so the 50 just sits at home...if you are interested in a partial trade towards your Noctilux (if it's a current model), I'd be interested. I would believe with the .58 you'll be a lot happier with the 50 than with the 75... Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
