I thought that historically One Touch and MF are almost one and the same. If the issue with One Touch is creep, the Kiron has a zoom and focus lock. In any case, unless the F is the one that is too expensive, it is reasonably short, relatively close-focusing and two touch. Would flare-resistance go into your equation? Because then, in principle, you are really limited in choice ;-) Have you checked Stan's page for reviews of the post-F zooms? Interested, Kostas
