Thanks, Godfrey. I do have a 50 -- a 1.7 M. Hadn't thought about a hood. Only ones I've got are built-in on longer lenses. Going with two small lenses has strong appeal. [My 50 is smaller than the 28, even though it's faster.] Others have tricked me into thinking about taking something longer as well. Maybe what I have room for will be the deciding factor.
