The Contax CZ 35/1.4 is virtually the weight and dimensions as the CZ 85/1.4 and SMCP A85/1.5 but it is a great lens, I do miss it. I still have a Summilux- M 35/1.4 ASPH and it's quite small but comparing it to the Pentax 31LTD and the CZ 35/1.4 it shows what a great job Pentax did with the Limited design. I really don't think we need another lens from Pentax in that range. Their biggest gap in top end primes is around 20mm. http://www.home.aone.net.au/audiobias/temp/35ASPHlux-m_vs_CZ35f1.4_top.jpg Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998
