Eric,

I am not sure what to make of this but in TriState's multipage ad in the
January Shutterbug there is a >New! 90/2.8 ASPH< lens announced for $
1629.95. Also, by the way, a finder for 21/24/28mm for $ 269.95. You may
want to call toll free to find out. For me it would be an international
call.
