The FLE should give better close ranger work but never seen empirical evidence about that ;-) john -----Original Message----- Never mind the name game - does any lugger have this lens and show that it is better than the V1 ASPH? The FLoatingElementGroup supposes to help with focus shift - not that I notice any with my V1 - but well, what do real shooters say?
