So blinded by love and devotion that I failed to see (literally) her shortcomings. The 20-35 and 35-70 2.8's from N & C are mighty fine, and have been available for a while now. Your girl L is just plain slow! Let's just hope she keeps her weight down on this new zoom. I'm not optimistic, envisioning something the size of Contax's 28-85 size XXL Texas-style zoom lens. I once had an Angenieux 35-70 f 2.4-3.3, a nice normal-sized, lightweight lens. Perhaps there's hope. Cheers! Basking in Waiting, Arturo
