Hi Hendi,
It depends. I think the 24/2.8 is very good. You won't go wrong there.
The 75-150/4 is tougher to judge. Personally I wouldn't pick one up unless
it were fairly new and in good shape. The lens was prone to element
separation.
On the whole the 75-150 has a great size and feel, but it's slow and dark
if you don't use the brighter focusing screens. I think it is pretty good
up to about 135mm. After that point, mine softens up quite a bit.
