If I want the coolness factor from a big honkin' hunk o' glass, I'll throw the Viv S1 24-48 on my MX (the small body makes the glass look even bigger. 77mm filter ring. Big hunk o' glass and metal. A manly lens, to be sure.
But, seriously, Chris, your comments are well-taken. I wouldn't have thought that the difference to the eye between a 2.0 and a 1.4 would be that noticeable in terms of viewfinder brightness. I certainly don't notice it too much on my Spots (I have a Super Tak 1.4 and a couple of 2.0 55mm's), but then the Spotties don't have as bright a viewfinder as my MX. cheers, frank Chris Brogden wrote: > Ease of focusing for one.
