As has the 50 and 85. The 85 was even available in the old >FD mount. Yeah, I know about all that stuff. Just forgot temporarily. And it's good glass no doubt. The 24 is unique, and the 35 ought to be great. Their 35 f/2 is one of the best 35mm lenses around, just behind the 35 Summilux and Summicron ASPH and 35 Summilux R for image quality. But the 50 1.0 and 85 1.2 USM lenses are very slow focusing. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The night wind swirls; Rain taps the leaves; cameras asleep in their cases Donal Philby
