Nate got with his in London. At B&H the other night, the sales guy
showed me
the P-FA 85mm, and I was hooked. But now Joe says the 77mm Limited is
another great choice. Which one would you guys pick for street
shooting? It
seems to me that the longer reach of the 85mm would be useful in
that case,
but of course it would be cool to have another Limited lens. ;)
I'd find the 85mm too bulky ... the smaller lens nearly always wins
for me. Plus, 85mm is just on the border of being overly long: for
street shooting, I prefer shorter lenses. Even though I did some
street work with the 135mm on my trip, I really found even the 50mm
to be a bit longer than I wanted most of the time.
