Re: Hunting for new standard lens

Talking to self though I am not mad, really. I've got both 31 and 77 limited lenses so that it is not exactly the standard lens I am after. It is exactly what it is - the replacement for 43 ltd that unfortunately expired. So I think FA 50/1.4 would be a reasonable choice... Any other opinions

Well, the two fifties are more like portrait lenses on digital format cameras, I don't think that I'd see them as standard exactly. My suggestion would be to get a new 43mm, but then I happen to really like that lens a lot, (on either film or digital bodies thought it becomes a very different

I agree. It is a bit more telephoto than I think is good for a normal lens, however. If I really need "normal", I use my DA 40 2.8 or the high end of my FA 20-35. Form what I've heard, the FA 35 2.0 is nice but hard to find. >>> "David Savage" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 12/12/2007 10:38 AM >>> On Dec

SSS is non-functional without focal length information according to the gurus over at Dyxum.com, it needs that information to work correctly. Otherwise it simply moves the incorrect amount. And 50mm is not a default, since screwmount adaptors with preset focal length communication are available in
