For the theater stuff I've been doing recently it was wonderful, just enough reach from where I had to stand, and fast enough for the low light (using a monopod.) The focusing was much more reliable than trying to use my Nikon 135/2.0 and rely on the autofocus indicator in the N90, and nobody had to listen to mirror slap for 6 or 8 rolls per production. I would probably be very tempted by a 180/200mm M lens with goggles, although it would need to be a 2.8 or better. If others can dream about electronic shutters and zoom finders, I can at least dream about one of these. Cheers, Kip Babington
