Alexander: Nothing against mother Russia, but I doubt anyone from a country where German or Japanese lenses have been available for the last 40 years EVER considered Russian lenses to be among the best. My experience with Zenit cameras and lenses (I used to sell them at a camera store I worked at), is that the best of them were primitive and coarse, with adequate optics. But quality control was abysmal, and we had many failures and many with misaligned, poor quality lenses. I've not much experience with Russian lenses recently, other than the 16mm fish-eye that's sold all over ebay. I consider it a decent lens, and a good value for the money, but certainly not the equal of current Japanese rectilinear fisheyes. Then again, it's a lot cheaper than those Japanese lenses. ===== Bob Meyer I wish I knew what I know now, when I was younger... http://www.meyerweb.net/epson __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
