One thing to think about (I know I have!) is that the 400 f6.8 is not 
very expensive, can be found for about $800 or less.  It is very slow, 
and probably pretty dark for my R4, but the images I have seen from it 
on Doug's site and elsewhere are incredible, and I plan to get one as 
soon as I stop having to pay for repairs to my lousy house.
