In fact there aren't enough lenses to make the 1.4APO Extender worthwhile. This is a great opportunity for Leica to make shorter lenses compatible with the 1.4. Ben, The tests show superior image quality of the 80-200. I've tried one out, but still don't like the darker focussing screen. Still, for travelling, and considering my back, I'll be getting one next week. In the meantime, the 70-180 APOwill guarantee top quality images whenever needed, even at 2.8. And -- don't ever think of selling a 100APO unless your spouse threatens you seriously. http://www.photodo.com/lens/ This shows how great the 80-200 is. Wolfgang
