The 35mm format is missing some basic focal lengths. I would put a 60, 65, or 70mm to good use. The 55mm and 85mm are my most used lenses. When I can afford it, the 77mm will become my first new lens purchase. Perhaps another reason to desire medium format. Pentax 67 lenses cover the normal to short tele range well.
