fa 100mm f2.8 macro or fa 77m f1.8 ltd
trying to decide between the two as I can’t afford both – do I want a
faster, smaller limited lens or a slower, larger lens with macro?
I don’t have a macro lens that I am happy with, BUT I really am loving using
my fa 50mm f1.7 as a “leave on the body all the time” lens right now, and am
thinking that the FA77mm would be awesome for this purpose with just a bit
more reach for portraits.
However, not sure if I would like the 0.7m minimum focus of the 77mm.
Decisions, decisions! What are your thoughts guys and gals?

hey Tanya
My 2c worth. The two lenses are completely different animals. I have
both, and I love em. Both are a pleasure to use, and have crisp
performance. But I would never take the 100 to a gig in low light. Nor
would I try to test the 77 to it's close focus ability. But if it came
to it, I would gladly have the 77 as my sole prime. Small, solid and
brilliantly sharp.
Only, I would not want to live in a world where I could only have one prime.
