On page 66 there is a nice portfolio from Jane Evelyn Atwood and her two M6s. On page 122 a test of the XPan. They say that both the lenses are optimized for use at f11 and F16, but still very good at f4. On page 134 a test of the Nikon Coolscan III/LS-30 plus a comparison with the LS-2000. The LS-2000 is obviously better, specially with CleanImage. And finally OF TOPIC: on page 126 a match between the F5, F-90X, EOS 1n and EOS 3 all of them with 300/2,8 and 300/4. The F5 is from far the faster (even with the non AF-S 300/4), then the EOS 3 and F-90X ex-aequo and finally the EOS 1n. But who care ? :-) There is also a test of the Nikkor AF-S 300/2,8. **** (4 stars) > En conclusion, cet objectif est actuellement ce qui ce fait > de mieux dans sa categorie. (The best in his league) But they never tested the APO-Modul......... Lucien
