Kelton,
I also think you should give the 50/3.5 macro a try. It is sometimes
argued that with faster lenses you improve the brightness of the
viewfinder, but I don't find that I need the extra brightness with the
50/3.5 and I certainly don't need the extra speed or size. YMMV, but I say
save your money, you don't really need macro glass that fast ;-)
trying to be a kind soul,
Joel
