Might I suggest the 35mm Limited as a solution to both questions? It's very nearly an exact equivalent to a 50mm on 35mm film for field of view, it's an excellent performer and is also quite a good macro lens. Sure it's only f2.8, but that's what you give up to get the rest of the package. And it costs less than another good macro plus a normal. -Adam -- M.
