Since I don't use program mode and I don't do fast snapshots... I don't mind the 1 cam lens that I use in manual mode ( get the metering by closing the aperture). I bought the 1 cam lens for $175 and I see the 2 and 3 cam versions going from $300-500. In the case of the 90mm elmarit.. I believe they kept the optics the same through the years, however, with some other lenses... they changed the optical design between the 1 cam first version to the 3 cam version. Something to consider. Mike
