Hi Tom, It's great to see that you have de-lurked :-) The A*85/f1.4 is an amazing lens and whilst the front element is large it's not as bad as you might imagine especially if you couple it with a straight tubular Heliopan hood. It is invaluable for natural portraiture in low light, I particularly enjoy using it when shooting pub bands or similar subjects. The view through the LX with SE-60 is amazing :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://members.ozemail.com.au/~distudio/publications.html
