The more I research and think about my personal preference to focal length, I think I agree with David & Sandy, that the 50 may be a better choice as well. I looked at a few photos on flickr.com taken with both the 43 and 50 and although there were a lot of great photos taken with the 43, many of them seemed forced, with a lot of open dead space.

Another thought I forgot to mention in my thread opening was that a used Mamiya 7 or 7II is cheaper if you purchase them with the 80. So more than likely I will be getting a 7 or 7II with the 80. The distance between 43 and 80 is too great, almost allows the need for the 65 to fill the gap, but the 65 and 80 are too close, no need for both unless you have a large budget.

So much to think about!

Keep the opinions coming!
