Not that this has a direct bearing, but a cinematographer in hollywood (who uses such lense as - can't remember exact numbers but something like this - 100-500 f/2.8 lenses (weigh like trucks!) 28-250 f/2 - yes, f/2 - and other astoundingly expensive lenses for special cinematography) said Angineaux has a mediocre reputation in the film world. I find that quite interesting, because their still lenses are very nice. ================== Eric Welch Grants Pass Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB Chair
