Bill--

	I for one can't think of any reason to augment your Skinny T-E with
a new 2.8.  As a walking around lens, you won't get that much improvement in
the new lens.  I would think that if you really needed an additional 90- and
I am certainly not advocating that you do- your best companion to the Skinny
TE would be the new f2.0 AA.

I like the TE becuase of it's size and weight. The 2 is heavy and big. The
TE
is a good walking around lens and the 2 is not. The 2 is not being used and
I
thought if I got the latest 2.8, I would have two good lens to use.Any
reason
to keep the 2?
