I trust who said that and he knows I'm just an M photographer (no interest in R system). Looking at the lens at Photokina (weight and size) and thinking at the expected price it makes sense.A 35-70 with the weight of an 80-200 and with a very limited maneuverability? For sure not for everybody, unless they sell it with a free coupon for a chiropractic treatment included.

If that's the case, even though I had my R8 relieved from my possesion, I better get an order in for the 2.8 35-70 as I had the 3.5 35-70 on the camera that was stolen. Obviously I'm replacing the R8, as well as the winder. But this faster lens makes a much better tool than the 3.5 when working by available light 99% of the time. Hopefully we'll not have to wait until the year 2000 or later before they are available, as we have for the R8 motor. :) ted ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
