Malcolm, I really love my 67II. If you are just going to start with one lens for awhile - I would choose either the 75/2.8 or the 90/2.8. The 75 is close to a 35mm and the 90 is close to a 45mm. If cost is a concern, go with the 90 as it can be had used easily. The 75 is a new lens so there aren't any/many on the used market.
