>Do the math, George - Your 85 I going to turn into a 119...

OK, BD: I believe the math would go something like this 
85 x 1.37 = 116.45mm - as in all things - compromise will find the middle way
I still like the idea of a 116.5mm 1.4. :-)
In fact if I go on down the list of my R glass:
    the 21 would actually get more use as the 29mm it would become
    35 would do fine as a 48
    60 macro as 82 - I really like this alot
    180 as 247 - now this one Iıve got a serious problem with - looks like Iıll have to get a 135, never thought Iıd say that - as 135 is the one focal length Iıve never liked.
    400 as 548 - I like this alot
    then of course we can add the 1.4x and 2x for additional fun
    
As far as my not being close enough - judge my images on their merit or lack there of - not my position in the world - when I want close - I get close.
