Your english is fine, and don't lurk so much.  We love to see new voices.

I'd expect the 75/2.5 to be a very good lens, as good or better than the
85/2.  It's not readily available here in the US though.  It costs $475
here, if you can find it.  You could buy an 85/2 from KEH for $300.

Personnaly, I'd rather have the 85/2.  There isn't very much difference
between the 75mm and 85mm focal lengths.  And you get 1/2 stop more light
with the 85/2.  

If you don't need the reach of the 100, sell it and buy an 85 and a
135/3.5.  That would be $300 for the 85 and $75 for the 135/3.5.  You could
sell the 100/2.8 for $125.  So the whole change from 100 to 85+135 would
cost ~$250.

Hello everybody,

I dont post very much.
I am affraid my english may not be correct.

Has anybody used or made tests of Voigtlander/Cosina 75mm ? 
I have the 100/2.8 and 50/3.5, think the 85/2 to close from the 100mm. 
I am interested with this 75mm. 
An other possibility is to trade the 100 for 85 ;-) 

I own also : OM1N 35/2.8 28/3.5 21/3.5. 
The last, the more recent.
Use of WA, first experience, was very impressing for me. 
Now I am still to far from the subject but I am learning...
