Thank you all. I don't want to multiply old glass - I have crates full of it :) I am familiar with quite few esoteric pieces that go way beyond the most wildest dreams of Takumarians and creatures from Leica-Centaurus.
So far, sounds simple: L lenses are spectacular, and the rest is like good old Canon of 30 years ago with even cheaper PC/CAD modelling and engineering I will repeat: I was sincerely impressed by Tamron AF 28-75mm f/2.8 XR Di on it. I shot a few low-key, high-key, "normal" portraits wide open and it exhibits cinematographic plasticity and surgical precision, excelent tonal gradient. Unbelivably good working range zoom for under $400. It's just my luck lately: last month I got a free 77mm Limited Pentax with no body, now I have a nearly free Canon body with no lenses. Both are highly liquid, so it's easy to liquidate at least. And with Canon one can rent and play with nearly everything. I am intrigued by the 135mm L lense now :) Thank you again, Y * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
