And how about the 100 mm f/2.5 , and 75-150 mm Zoom f/2.5 "E" types? these two are legendary for their sharpness, fine optics, and good bokeh.....They are AIS lenses, and you can buy both for under $100 each....The zoom was used by N.Y. fashion photographers for years..... I much prefer you when you are not talking politics, William! ;-) -- Dallas www.dallasdahms.com "Going down a dirty inner city side road I plotted Madness passed me by, she smiled hi, I nodded" - Sixto Rodriguez |

Those of us who have advanced beyond being totally reliant on TTL metering don't find it a problem at all. Well great. The market is in your favor at the moment. Doesn't mean **** beyond that. Who said it did? My next lens purchase will probably be a 14mm Nikkor. If I can find one for under $500, even if it is MF only, I will probably buy it, use it and shoot in RAW mode. Using Nikon Capture 4.0 I can adjust my exposures either -2 or +2 EV, in steps of 0.05EV at a time (if I so desire) long after I have left the place of shooting. Well, hooray for you. What's a 14mm f/2.8 Canon EF lens sell for? You mean that amazing USM pro series lens? It sells for what it's worth to the people who need it. I see you have elected to avoid answering the question. What does it sell for? Let's see...I have the March issue of the B&H catalog in front of me and...by jove! The grey imported Canon 14mm f/2.8L USM sells for gasp! $1724.95!!! Lessee now...the new Nikkor 14mm f/2.8 ED sells for $1,234.95. $490 less. Geez...is the Canon really worth all that extra $$$? Yep, you really do need that USM motor when you are composing a landscape. I wonder what I could get a used AIS Nikkor for? -- Dallas www.dallasdahms.com "Going down a dirty inner city side road I plotted Madness passed me by, she smiled hi, I nodded" - Sixto Rodriguez |
