I don't care how rare it is, at the best of times it's a boring focal range, usually relegated to the package deals sold to "newbies". Yeah, yeah, it is a fixed aperture 2.8, but big deal. And if it was bought as an investment, an investment with a 10% return (nothing to get excited about) will double in value in 7 years. Do you think that lens will be worth $32,000 in 7 years? There's one born every minute. dan c. At 11:16 AM 02-03-01 -0700, John Collier wrote: >Mehrdad, > >Alas, would that they were stories.
