Very nice pictures Mike. But explain to me what you need a 2.0 for in such good light. Would not 2.8 do nicely, it does not give you much more DOF than 2.0 if that is what you are after I like the thin Tele Elmarit 2.8 90mm as it is small and light and does not cost too much. I never really felt the need for 2.0 as I used it mostly for close up portraits and I needed to use 5.6 or smaller to get most of the face sharp.
