I agree with you completely about the two 2.8 zoom lenses from Leica. I'd like your opinion on the latest 35-70mm f/4.0 Vario-Elmar lens. The size and weight are very attractive for a day trip. Is this lens one of the Minolta design? XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Pitak, Newer design, Leica design, not the original Minolta one. We have one and could not be happier with it (if you don't use pol filters much that is cause the focus rotates the front element) Cheers Alastair Firkin http://users.netconnect.com.au/~firkin/AGFhmpg.html
