I love using it, but sometimes I don't feel like ramming my camera in someone's face. I am one of those benighted luddites that processes and prints black and white film. In fact, in the three months I have owned the camera, I haven't put a roll of colour through it. I know, I know, how backwards of me, but what the hell. The 90 would primarily be a portrait lens, but I also want the compression that the 90 offers. Cheers, Doug PS. Breakfast was an apple and yoghurt on Tuesday. PPS. What the hell is a UV filter for? <grin> PPPS.
