There is a big difference between not having both and not carrying both on
a vacation when you are minimizing your kit.
Exactly! :-)
And to expand a little, if you have none of them and consider which one to
buy, I'd go with the 60-250

Tradeoffs. The 60-250 is bigger and heavier. Good to carry when knowing the
extra length will be needed, but otherwise the 50-135 is a delight.

I didn't see the 50-135 as that much smaller either. Until I had both in hand.

I do a lot of buying/selling and try to end up improving my overall
team by doing so. But the one lens I regretted selling in that effort
was the original Vivitar Series 1 Bokina (90mm f2.5 with 1:1 matched
multiplier). Fortunately, I recently found the Bokina II, the improved

I really like the FA 24-90. I bought it for my PZ-1p years ago, and even

I don't regret having sold any of my lenses, although it did hurt a bit to do
so. But I hadn't been using them since buying the 16-45 zoom and wanted to
raise cash for other endeavours (uh, obsessions maybe).
The one lens I have no intention of parting with is my FA 100mm f/2.8 macro.
Cheers,
Darren,
They can sell the A*135/1.8 when I'm dead.
(Fred Wasti can re-purchase it if he outlives me.)
It's big, heavy and un-equaled in image quality on film.
I've also really come to like the DA*60-250/4 zoom.
The image quality is great and it's not to big to carry around.

1. 2. I really like DA* 50-135/2.8.
I enjoy the recently acquired 77/1.8
Both produce very nice sharp image with great color rendition.
77/1.8 has a bit unusual color combination in low light, but it is
very pleasant.
I like these two lenses for the image quality.
I tend to take those with me

Right now, I can't imagine ever parting with my FA 50/1.4 without a
violent struggle.
None of my other lenses hold quite as lofty a position in my pantheon,
but there are some that I thoroughly enjoy using. I just don't have much
experience with various lenses -- especially more expensive
