So it can best be described as a center-weighted system. As for purchasing lenses, the answer depends on where in the world you are. If in the US, then B&H, Tamarkin or the dealers who advertise here on the LUG (today is Friday, so you will see their ads) are good choices. If you are in Europe, then there are several online shops in Germany that have by far the best prices on this side of the Atlantic.
