Thanx Igor. Yes, it is the 2.8. I would have gone with the DFA, but the cost advantage of the FA did it for me. (A DFA 100/2.8 Macro runs about $800 CDN, I got the FA for half that).
Enjoy it when you get it! I hope the lack of inventory of the DFA100/2.8Macro is a good sign indicating high demand. I know some of the Canadian site here mark it as a hot item. dk On 1/10/06, Igor Roshchin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Congratulations, Dave! > Which one did you get? I guess f/2.8.
