I continue to wait less than patiently for my new 645Z from the dealer. In the meanwhile I've "saved" $5200 on the 28-45 by buying the 45-85 and 35. I've also bought a few other manual focus lenses but as they are pretty much giving them away on ebay it would be wrong not to
I generally shoot everything manual focus, even birds in flight so AF is not a big need for me.
My question is this, I may want/need an auto focus lens in the normal to wide range for family snaps. Right now the only viable options seem to be the 55 FA and 75 FA. I used the 55 on a demo and liked the FOV, the 75 is more normal as it were. I'm also conscious of the fact that I've not shot MF before so the frame proportions add another variable.
I've read the reviews of both so it seems to be a wash on quality and I recognize that it is totally subjective but I'd welcome further insights on the two, how they compare, how you compare them to your zooms in that range etc.
Many thanks.
