75/1.8 is not for me (family/enthusiast photographer)

I think you are responding most to buying a lens that is beyond your experience, and I applaud you for seeing it. A lens like the 75mm is a very specialized lens. Perfect for what it is, but not a miracle cure and not a solution for everything.

I love it, but I have specific uses for it, and have other lenses for different things. My guess is your experience is more like what others will feel.

I think you will find the 45mm an entirely different lens and much more suited to what you shoot.
