Product manager.  I come up with the hype and drivel that the
salemen spew.  (hey buddy, you wanna buy a DSL connection?)

80/4 vs 90/2.  Okay, let's run the equation:
80/4=20, 90/2=45  Take your weight divided by your height in
feet.  ie 200/6=33 (round the results).  Multiply the results by
the ISO of the film you typically use (Velvia is 50).  ie
33x50=1650.  Divide this number by 80 and write down the result.
Divide this number by 90 and write down the result.  Whichever
one is closer to 20 or 45 (the first part of this calculation)
is the lens you must keep.

See, it's easy.

Easy choice:  Field.  Lens choices would be for one as wide as I
can feasably get and a "normal" focal length.  If I'm feeling
really punky a tele, but that's optional.  Wouldn't mind picking
up an old Crown Graphic to be honest.

Oh well, so many choices, so little money...
