Asked because I did the exact opposite. I would think that for someone like you who owns a RIV, 50 will make a nice 75/1.8 on crop mode.

For me, when i frame something with 50, most often I don�t have to step back or forth. I love this FL. Plus little more dreamy for portraits.

I was 12,21,50,75 so I went to the 40. But I just sold the 21 and I'm a little different now. 12 18, 24 which I was not making use out of.

So landscape travel kit Im stealing a little from my AF kit so my options are 12,18,24,40,75. Thats 2 AF lenses in that MF kit or i guess landscape kit

Plus I have the 35 1.8 coming and a Batis 85 to go with my 135

2.5 stops of light reduction with CPL? I thought it was close to a atop. Less than that.

Hoya says most CPLs block between 1.5-2.5 stops, and their HRT line blocks 1/3 stop less than that:

I don't know Breakthrough CPL transmissions offhand, but it'd be pretty easy to test out when I get a chance.

My experience with many CPL filters has been around 1.5 stops of light. Some more, others less.

Been on a short hike this Sunday on Pohorje hills, it was cold and windy and I had a cold also, but I just had to go in to the great outdoors :-) oh and fall colours are starting in the forest :-) Noktons color rendition is just perfect for it :-)
