WOW Again I'm so disappointed: A new R 35-70/2,8 ! (After a 35-70/3,5 and a 35-70/4 !) What a nice zoom line ! = IMO, the most banal focals for a zoom. I always found that something was missing on a 35-70. I was expecting a 35-90/2,8 ! It will not be "the universal lens" that I was expecting. Where is my good old R 45-90/2,8 (Angenieux) ? ;-) And 14 years for a M6 TTL Flash !! with a 1/50 syncro ! I was expecting it in 1984 ! = If that's all the improvement they can offer after 14 years. And I hear (not confirmed) that it will be a few minimeter taller. (If it's true, what about those of us who use the NF 50mm ?) Really, I don't understand. :-( I hope that others are happy. Lucien
