Would anyone have any experience > with a third party 20-21mm or the Rusar in particular? I'd appreciate all > the help I could get. I have sent Mr.(?) Redfern a copy of a review of this lens which was published in the April 95 issue of the British magazine Photon and is available on-line at: http://www.photonpub.co.uk/photon To find the article, go to the contents page of their current edition and select the "backlot" option: this will take you the list of previous issues and you can just select the April 95 issue. The URL for the article is : http://www.scotborders.co.uk/photon/april95/russar.html It is worth viewing the article with Netscape or something like it: they have publised some pictures taken with the lens. If anyone want to read the article and can't get onto the Web, I will send them a copy. Alternatively, I could send it out to the list members. Hope this helps Gary Toop
