Which only goes to show that press photographers are a bunch of sheep when it comes to equipment (note the mass migration to Canon and the standard - "There is no difference in lenses). Funny thing is, some writers for Pop Photo use this as an agrument for why Japanese lenses are as good or better than Leica to this day - 50 years later! That's like saying Amiga is better because their OS was better in 1984. - -- Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch Cynicism often masquerades for sophistication in our society, but more often than not it's merely an indicator of resentment.
