My wife and I are taking a trip to Germany and Belgium later this year, and I'm tempted to take just one lens with the R5m2. But I can't leave the RF 45mm f/1.2 at home because ... well ... because it's f/1.2.

As it happens, I have recently acquired a good selection of Canon FD and Minolta MD prime lenses.
  • Canon FD: 24mm f/2.8, 50mm f/1.4, 100mm f/2.8, 135mm f/2.8
  • Minolta MD: 28mm f/2.8, 45mm f/2, 50mm f/1.7, 58mm f/1.4
I'm leaning toward the 28mm, only because I've never used that focal length before. But I've recently been shooting at 135mm, and I really like it.

Which one would you take?

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
