Yeah, I agree. I tried a M50 1.7 on the *istD (which acts like a 75) and it's a very small lens. That makes a very small "walk around" package without the grip. A slow "60" just isn't much use. Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 4

Seems to me that DSLR's are making a serious inroad to the 645/66 area. A significant portion of the users of those systems shoot weddings and portraits. Digital works quite well there. Those who are shooting landscape/scenics might opt for a bigger format - either 67, 69 or 4X5. I wouldn't be
