Hi Lucien,

I find the "ergonomics" of the 75 to be the best of any lense I've used!  It
balances the camera perfectly, if you put your left hand under the focusing
barrel you can focus and brace it very easily...it's a perfect fit for
me...but can't be done on the 50/35/24...they are too small.  Perhaps the 75
"feels" better with a RabidWinder (which I do use)?

I guess some people get confused between the 50 and 75 frame lines?  I can
see how, for some, that can possibly be an issue...but I've got to believe
it isn't that big of an issue to overcome with some use of the lense...
It's never been an issue for me.

Regards,

Austin
