BTW, because of my last few lens purchases, I'll be offering at least a couple of A-series lenses for sale next week -- the SMC-A 50mm f1.4 and the SMC-A 35-70 f4 (the constant-aperture one, better optically than the later A-series 35-70 zoom). E-mail me early if you're interested, I'll have pics and details next week.

Your post seems to be a study in self-enablement at its finest. Put it down on paper and it will come true. ;-)On Wednesday 13 November 2002 07:21 pm, Joe Wilensky wrote:It's a big step in my continuing evolving interest in photography -- the biggest surprise is, I can't believe the manual focus feel of this lens is significantly superior than the SMC-A 50mm f1.4 lens I have, but it is. I no longer fear the future, and I know my manual focus stuff can happily coexist with a more modern outfit. For too long, I had been trying for a compromise.-- Kenneth Archer, San Antonio, Texas [EMAIL PROTECTED]
