The 90 and 135 are awfully close together. I would think it better to start with a 180 and a 90. And I'm not saying that because I have a 180 and 90 for sale. If you want the 135, they are real bargains. And superb performers. As for 180s, there were two versions before the APO. The old version, very big, very heavy. Then there's the new version that came out in '80. Much smaller, and better performance. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Cooperation can only be reached if we work together
