The 77 is nice, but so is the 70. I rarely use my 77 since getting the 70. I just plain like the 70 better. I bet my 77 hasn't been on a camera in over a year.
The 43 is nice, but people rave about the 40. I have the 40, it's very nice, nice enough that the 43 never beckoned.
The 31 is nice, I'm glad I have one, but the 35 Macro is the lens that is on my camera right now, and they 31 is in storage, has been since this spring.
That's one of so many points of view each valid in its own context. I've all three FA limiteds (you know that already, don't you, Bill?
) and I am considering offering them up for sale. In fact, since I bought A 50/1.2 slightly more than two years ago, all my shots that I really like were made with that lens.
Presently, a thought of thinning my cabinet down to absolute minimum
I need seems like a good proposition. I have invested too much money into this hobby and I may want to recover as much as possible.
And no, the sky is not falling. In fact, sky is never falling. It is just a matter of
individual decision how to proceed, where to put one's money, how to develop one's photography, etc.
