I appreciate that it's a long time ago, but can you remember which way round the Angenieux focus ring went? Was it the same way as Nikon, or the opposite?

However, it did have seperate zoom and focus, which I prefered over a one-touch. I regret selling that F3/Angenieux setup. I like traveling light with camera equipment (hence my move into and M6 system) and hope to replace the SLR w/ a great zoom lens in the future (likely R8). I miss the ability to crop-on-site with the zoom, without moving my lazy ass!! :) The M6 has definitely forced me to become a more athletic photographer!! If you see one of these lenses at a good price, buy it!! Cheers Arturo
