Everything I've heard on Compuserve about the 300 f/4 is that the owners love it. But maybe they're the only ones willing to admit it? ;-) >What is the price of a Leica 300mm f2.8 ? Does that exist ? That's what I'm talking about. Leica 280 2.8 Apo Telyt. They've been around since 1984, I've owned one. Absolutely awesome (and it '87 a used one cost $2,200). They've updated it now in the modular system. I had to sell it to make it to the end of my last semester in grad school. And I really regret selling it. Please, this is the reason we keep saying don't talk about Leica R until you know the system better. - -- Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The world's full of apathy, and I don't care.
