Yeah, well people who don't own them (and wish for justification for not owning them) might think so, but for those of us who do own such lenses we know they're worth every penny. For example, if I had to pay $5,300 for the 70-180 2.8 Vario Apo Elmarit R, I'd pay it (when I had it). Thankfully (to Ted) I didn't. I've used Nikon's 80-200 2.8 and Canon's 70-200 2.8 L - neither lens can touch this one. It's astounding. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Profanity sucks.
