The 45mm f/4 is an amazing lens. Small and light, and extremely sharp when you reach f/8. I am also very fond of the old 300mm f/4 Takumar (same optics as the newer one, but different from the expensive ED IF version). I haven't critically examined my slides from the 90mm f/2.8 yet but I'm certainly not disappointed with it. I am picking up a 165mm f/2.8 tonight which will finish my 6x7 lens lineup... unless I find a bargain 400mm f/4 ED IF :) Cheers, - Dave http://www.digistar.com/~dmann/
