It IS the glass that counts. You can put a piece of junk Sigma 70-210 2.8 in front of a Canon EOS1n, or Nikon F5, and you'll still get less than optimal pictures. You use a Leica R3 with a 70-180 Apo 2.8 zoom, and you get pure Leica. ============= Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO The gene pool could use a little chlorine.
