My latest somewhat unplanned GAS attack was a PS 50mm f/3.5 - I just got it a couple of weeks ago. The helix rolls the non-rotating front end out to almost double the length, smooth as glass. It's also one of those solid feeling babies from the days of real metal and glass. Then I snagged a good deal on a PS 110mm f/4.5 1:1 macro - haven't done a lot with it yet, but what I've done I really have liked. My next was a PS 65mm f/4 to be 'just a little bit wider' - it's OK, but given what has happened since, I'd probably skip it. (I went that way 'cause I was 'only gonna get one.') The one I got cost more than some, but appeared to be new-in-box condition. Like evilhomer78, I appreciate its f/2.8 for lower light levels. My first acquisition was the PS 80mm f/2.8 - that was back when I thought I'd only get one lens - HA! It's still my most used, so far.

In the end I know it comes down to every photographer's shooting style, but I'd appreciate any thoughts based on your own experiences with the SQ system and it's S/PS lenses.ДЇinally, although I have the WLF, I'd like to get a prism as well, and would like to know if people really recommend the 45D prism over the regular metered one, or if it would really be better to go with the metered prism. I'm hoping that this will become my 'go-to' travel kit (instead of the three cameras I carry now, one of which is always a TLR) and I'd like people's impressions of the various lenses. I was thinking of going a little wider (65 or 50 mm) for the one lens, and either the 110 or 150mm for the slightly more tele. Since I'm buying the lenses separately, is there any reason why I should go with the 80mm? The opinion towards it seems a bit lukewarm. In 35mm I usually shoot 28, 50, and 105, but I'm not bound to those equivalent focal lengths in MF. I can only afford to buy two lenses at the moment, and I'm curious as to what people would recommend. So now I'm slowly assembling a kit together (SQ-A body, speed grip, WLF, 2 120 backs) and have everything I need except the lenses. For those of you following my earlier Bronica thread, I finally returned the Bronica SQ-A outfit I bought on ebay because there were too many problems with it, and the seller had not been honest in her description of the kit.
