Sounds great to me.  BTW I finally had my eyes tested today here in Dallas.
 I liked the Dr. quite well.  I probably should have done this when I was
having problems with my right eye and the R8.  I have a cataract in my
right eye but it seems to be quite slow.  Maybe I should have waited for
the new technology!!

Sounds like a great idea and I am sure everybody enjoys them.

>Be well and you won't go wrong with the 35-70/4 lens.  

In my dilemma I am down to Minilux Zoom vs. R8 and above zoom.  If I get
the Minilux I keep all my M stuff and if I get the R8 I will have to sell
my 24/2.8 ASPH and 90/2.8 and one M6 body.  Ah decisions!!!

Take care, 
Dick
