Sorry, John. I never intended to take you seriously. Apologies for launching you into an argument where you thought I did. And speaking of missing points, I think you refused to consider mine.
More seriously, though, if you cling to a 20 year old Z-1p as your ideal camera, I do not understand why you don't go buy yourself a 2nd hand FA* 300/2.8. They are mighty good lenses by any measurement, they are optimised for film use instead of this newfangled digital stuff, and pop up on eBay more than once a year.
