LUGers,

In the last issue of the french "PHOTO ARGUS" (No: 227 August-September 9=
7)
there is a very positive test about the new 35/2 ASPH.
But they say that : "Finalement, seule la surface aspherique est en
<plastique>!"
=3D "At the end, only the aspheric lens is made of <plastic> ! "

Erwin, is this true ??

I think that they make that mistake because they don't think it is possib=
le
to mold glass.
And also because now there is a lot of plastic aspheric lens in cheap zoo=
m.
