Often, my "walkaround" kit is for travelling by motorcycle. In this case, whatever lens I use with the MX needs to be small enough for me to use the everready case on the camera/lens combination. This is the only time I ever put the case on the camera; keeps it much safer in the tank bag on the bike! Anyway, the 28, 43 and 50 are the only lenses I have that are small enough to fit. I'm a wide angle enthusiast so even the 28 sometimes a bit "long" for me. I'm still looking for a really convenient way to carry the MX while running. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
