> They don't dominate. Primes are still in the 2-2.8 range. Take a look at Boz's page;
I looked at Boz's page yesterday. Seems that almost every lens except the DA has been discontinued or is out of production. Only SIX primes are shown as being in production (if i counted right), and eleven zooms. All but one of the zooms is faster than an F4.0, and that's a 3.5. I don't think there was a constant aperture in the bunch. Primes in the 2.0 - 2.8 range are certainly slow, at least by the standards of some people. How depressing. Shel
