One thing to consider is how much different the 77 would be compared to the 50. While slightly different, I think you would end up having to decide all the time between the two. Since you really like the 50 now, I think it would be better to get something more different (the macro) rather than

a 12mm lens on APS is not as wide as a 15mm lens on FF hence, the A15mm wont perform as well on on FF or even APS as a 12mm on APS. (in general). The problem is that it takes to many elements which hurts the flaring reduction. Cost and lens speed are also factors. I would bet the DA 15mm
