I've just Googled for about 20 minutes trying to find the gallery, but couldn't find it - wherever in the hell it might be. If anyone remembers what I'm talking about, I'd love a URL if you can find one. In any case, I sprang for a used 28/2 in the 28mm focal length, for me much less of a "boutique" focal length vs. the 21mm FL. Very happy with this lens, although even used, I sometimes ponder about having so much coin tied up in one lens :-| Scott Jeffery Smith wrote: >I have had trouble "taming" the contrast on my 28/3.5 VC.
