BD, I didnıt say I never used it. And I have the M 28; which gets a lot more use.

My most used kit = M 35, M 75

Iım not rationalizing anything. Iım simply enjoying ³what if?²
What if it was late 2004?
What if I could afford the damn thing?
What if I slapped it on my R8 with the glass Iıve got?
How would that feel?

Of course.
However, given what ya got, what can you do with it on any given digital body/back (if the need or opportunity arose)?
