>Nowadays consumer grade lenses look like toys - very fragile, light (too
>light?) etc... I don't especially like the construction of the FA lenses -
>my 80-200/f4,7-5,6, although optically very good, seems so fragile, that I

>Those old lenses have such a "feeling", that I cought myself holding them
>for just a pleasure of... holding:)) Seems like I've got some collector
