Thinking about selling 60mm Distagon and getting 80mm

[rich815]

You all have me thinking about a 3 lens kit now... lol! Although a 50/80/150 kit makes more sense than a 60/80/150

Consider a 50/60/80/150 kit, this is not so ridiculous. That's like 28/35/50/90, in 35mm camera terms which is perfect I think. I would not always carry all but would want them all when I need them.

Hello all,

I'm debating on selling my 60mm Distagon and Picking up an 80mm. I currently have a 60/150 kit, but I'm really more of a 50mm and 105mm guy in 35mm speak. I love the 150, but perhaps the 60mm is not my angle of view?

It seems that the 80mm is most people's one lens kit, but when i walk around with my 60mm, i'm always tempted to bring the 150 along too.

I know the 80mm renders (god forbid I use this word) bokeh, and the 60mm does so too, actually, when used under certain circumstances.

Thoughts?

A good move.

I tend to favour a moderate wide angle as my "standard" lens (35mm for 135, 55mm for 6x4.5, 65mm for 6x7). So I wouldn't be saying goodbye to that 60mm anytime soon.

I do often find my 50 too wide and would like a 60.

I like the 50mm and 80mm combination for 6x6. The 60mm is too close to the 80mm lens and it just is not worth switching to the 60mm when I can just step back and get the same thing.
