That for the things that he and I do ( both amateurs) he doesn't need 14 meg pixels and that his vunder lens would guarantee that he had all possible focal lengths in a subpar lens. I tried telling him the old saw that most people shooting 28-70 zoom have the zoom at 50 most of the time. Anyway to stay on topic I scanned in some family snaps taken with M7 and 21/2.8 - what a stellar lens - no flaring and just wonderful sharpness wide open. ernie At 09:59 PM 12/17/02 -0500, you wrote: >Ernie, I was using a 28-70 2.8 Nikkor.
