I shoot mine as the main camera. The 35mm is not used nearly as much
as before. I do quite a lot of people pictures - weddings, portraits
and as much scenics as I can time-wise.
As to films, for people I have used mostly Portra until recently
purchasing a large amount of Fuji NPS from some sources. I also shoot
some Fuji Reala. For scenics, I tend to shoot Afga Optima, Konica
Impressa 50 and some chromes. I shy away from chromes simply because
the cost to get a great print is high and I am rarely satisfied when I
compare the print to the original.
As to the next lens after the 90 - depends. Both the 55 and 165 are
great. I bought both at the same time. So my original kit was 55, 90
and 165.
If you are considering flash, synch speed on the 67 is quite slow -
1/30th. You really should consider both the 90 leaf shutter and the
165 leaf shutter lenses. This gives you flash synch up to 1/500.
Using them requires manual or auto flash settings. If you need more
information on usage, let me know.
If you enjoy using the more classic manual cameras, you will love
trying out a 67.
