Re: F 70-210mm 4.0-5.6

Hi!

So now I am thinking again about the DA 50-200. But I believe I have 
seen an image with CA from this lens, too -- a white license plate 
rendered purplish. Again, it was in the center of the image.

Still, this is the first time that the SMC F 70-210 has failed me, and 
this was a limited situation. So for now I will keep using it. I am 
waiting to hear the details of Pentax's forthcoming D FA "high 
performance telezoom."

I sure wish I could put my hands temporarily on a DA 50-200 to test it 
systematically against the F 70-210.

Joe, pardon me if it sound trivial, but there is no such thing as 
*perfect* piece of equipment...

I am very much unamused by the fact that my FA 50/1.7 (bought new some 
years ago) produces rather unpleasant representation of the sun when I 
shoot sunsets with my *istD :-).
