Thanks for the comment. Right now, my favorite is the 20mm f2.8
(and has been for a long time, though MANY other lenses have
been favorites...).

I like the FG, though it is more difficult to hand-hold at slow
speeds than the FE/FM's, or especially the FA - and I like the F3
for travel, also. I used to favor the FE/FM's, but the FA is a
bit steadier at slow speeds (makes no sense, but it is...).

I use UV's for protection, but little else, unless necessary.
