Strangely enough, the ads seemed to indicate that people preferred Pepsi! ;-) I actually participated once, and successfully identifed the Pepsi cup. Note that they never actually asked that, so I agreed ahead of time with my friend that we would say that the preferred drink was Pepsi, as a way of telling whether we knew which was which. I would like to add that while my Nikor 85/1.4 is a top notch performer, I much prefer using the M6 with the 75. The handling is much better, due to the lighter weight and the better balance. I like carrying my cameras over my shoulder for hours on end, and the Nikkor attached to my F2 is just a bit too much for me. Dan C.
