RZ67 50mm or 65mm?

I'm looking for a wide angle for my RZ and wondered if anyone had a recommendation. Is the 50mm ULD worth the extra dollars?

Cameron, which versions of these lenses are you interested in? Seems both were made in normal and floating lens arrangements. Going by KEH prices, the floating lens version only seem to be running about $100 more, and judging by some of the resolution tests I have seen, they are definitely worth the money if you plan to print big and/or are really worried about sharpness. Of course if your shooting handheld, the difference in sharpness will most likely be lost in camera shake. Here's one page comparing some of the RZ's lenses, including the 65mm f/4 L-A...

Thanks for the link Aaron. Decided on the 65mm f4 L-A. Can't wait to try it out.

Nice choice, not that I think you could really go wrong with any of those. I'll be looking forward to hearing how you like it and of course, as always, don't forget the pics :thumbsup:
