Hi Al-

is this lens an LTM lens? Or is it a Canon FD thing? I just received a
28/2.8 Canon LTM that I used on my M4-P;
very nice- appears to be coated (slight pinkish hue on lens). Hand held in
High school auditorium f4 @ 1/30 w/ xp2 pushed to 800; negs a bit thin
(first experiment pushing xp2) but looks nice- I'll blow it up and see what
I see....
