Re: Telephoto lens for casual city / travel photography (50-140mm or 90mm)

I auditioned the 50-140 last year and absolutely loved it. It's still on my list but I just picked up the 90 f/2 -- got it used, I think I paid $597. It's a fantastic lens. Can't go wrong with either. One thing which deterred me from getting the 50-140, outside of price, is its size. I imagined I would be less inclined to take it out. The 90 f/2 isn't exactly "light" and with the lens hood on it's rather long but it definitely possesses a magnitude of portability over the 50-140. It's fun to compose within the constraints of a single long focal length. A welcome challenge. However, 50-140 may be more practical for event work.
