hi Lee...that's a real tough one...


the two lenses are both wonderful...

one new wonderful and one old wonderful, we could make sexual  
analogies, but maybe not...

many agree that they are totally different in look and fingerprint...I  
have both, use the DR more...

sort of like great pie and great cake...

some like one, some like the other, some like one on certain days or  
for certain images...

so how would you like to compare them...?

:-)


Steve
