Not as rugged as my other leica lenses, but it was easily as good or better than the Nikon 80-200. It was quite sharp. Now I have a complaint against you and Ted. Because of you two I had to go to my local dealer and look at the R8 and I find it to be every bit as nice as you two rave about it being. Now all I have to do is get it out of my head or I am going to have to rise my rates again! :) - -- Harrison McClary hmphoto@delphi.com http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto temporally from London (unfortunately the one in Kentucky)
