That was it, shot chrome, life was simple (i.e. ignorance is bliss).
Today ... thanks to the wonderful members of FM ... ignorance has been obliterated, but I'm still yearning for that (elusive) bag.
At the risk of mapping a developmental model onto this, I wonder if some of us are like middle-aged guys trying to recapture that childhood sense of perfect plenitude that comes from having a wondrous thing in a world of scarcity: the perfect bike/fort/jacket/pocket knife that somehow made life perfect.

In any case, I feel your pain.
On the main topic:
For me, the focal length range you're talking about is best filled by a 35/85 pair, and not a single 60mm-ish lens (they complement an excellent 24mm nicely, too). 60mm is, for me, drifting too far back into no-man's-land, while an 85 gets me to a nice loose short tele. On a full frame DSLR, I do this without going very alt -- I use a Nikon 35/2 and a Sigma 85/1.4 on a D700. On my NEX, I'm still working on dialing in my perfect setup.
