My lists include only lenses I've actually used. My list for best value: 35mm Elmarit-R 50mm Summicron-R 90mm Elmarit-R 135mm Elmarit-R 400mm f/6.8 Telyt 560mm f/6.8 Telyt Exceptional performance, kind of expensive: 35mm Summicron-R, late 60mm Macro-Elmarit-R Mind-blowing optics and price: 100mm APO-Macro-Elmarit-R Great portrait lenses: 90mm Summicron-R 135mm Elmarit-R Doug Herr Sacramento http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/telyt ___________________________________________________ The ALL NEW CS2000 from CompuServe Better!
