Certainly the short lenses you're referring to. Because if you're in the middle of the action and there's a lot of pushing, shoving and leaning on by other photogs, a stabilizing lens isn't going to compensate for that. Besides you just push, lean and shove back and find out everyone goes home as happy as a cat in clean litter with their pictures intact.;-) ted Ted Grant Photography Limited www.islandnet.com/~tedgrant - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
