I get much more use out of short teles than any other area of focal length. Just love them all. Been shooting with a 60 macro as of late. That's great and when it turns 90 with my digital that's great too. Love my Elmarit and APO APO Summicron 90's for my M. Which would turn into 135's on a digital some day. Another very useful focal length for me. Which is why I made use to have a 135 in my arsenal. A 99 dollar Hektor and a somewhat pricy f3.4 Telyt for the pie in the sky with no color blueberry fringing. Zooms are great if your doing SLR but love those short lightweight, often compact and often fast short teles! Without a whole lot of glass in them; Like zooms do. 60 75 85 90 100 105 120 135 I'll take the variety pack. Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/
