I am looking for something in the 75 - 100mm range for a Canon 7. The CV 75mm 2.5 LTM seems compact, reasonably fast, and not too heavy. How much of a headache is a 75mm going to be in terms of framing? I assume I'd use the 85mm frame line and guesstimate a little extra. Or would a 90mm be easier to use as I could split the difference between the 85 and 100mm framelines? The CV 90 is 3.5, and less compact, however. The Canon 85mm f1.8, f1.9 or f2s are I think twice the weight. Not sure the weight of the Nikon 85 f2. I gather the Canon 100mm f3.5 is lightweight too.
 
There is a beautiful black 85/1.9 in the classifieds for a great price. I'd grab it if I didn't already have the 1.8.

To answer your question, 75 vs. 85 vs. 90 doesn't make much difference wrt framelines for me. Easier than shooting, say, a 105 with 90mm framelines.

Roland.
