Hi Jim,

Without having ever seen or tried the 35-80 mm/2.8, I'd say that the 3
fixed lenses will be better, especially if you opt for the 35 mm/2.0, which
is a very fine lens, as is the 85 mm. I am not so sure about the quality of
the 35/2.8.
I use zoom lenses myself, but prefer fixed lenses. I have problems focusing
the zooms in low light. A F2.8 speed lens is better there of course than
the slower ones.
