Zeiss design philosophy we've been told as of late is to come out with classics
and upgrade them less often. I can live with that. I'm just again interested in
SLR 35mm for macro and longer tele use. So it just depends on a few lenses as to
if that system (body and two lenses) is right for me.
I balk at three grand for the 100 macro Elmarit. Love my 90 apo Asph M!
