Tom, my first SLR was a SRT101 and I had to have the 50/1.4 with it. I was smart enough, maybe not rich enough to get the 1.2. Nice lens, shame about the shoddy build of the camera. The metering system was a thread inside the camera body that went around little pulleys everywhere. What a joke. Basically I liked wowing people with the huge hunk of glass on my camera that so obviously said 'PRO'. Course zooms in those days (1970) were unheard of. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography, http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
