OTOH, it is significantly lighter ( and cheaper) than the 28 Elmarit, 35 Cron, and 50 Cron, all thing s being equal and the lenses purchased used. I have the first version and really do like the lens for certain outings. Then again, I also pack a 35 'Lux as a speed lens, just in case. I guess if they made a 3E with and F2 max aperture, I am not sure I could either afford it nor pack it as easily.... fast lenses are notoriously heavy. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
