However, the one that really grabbed me was the
100/2.8. This seems to be a remarkably good lens with high resolution
and contrast. All three lenses are remarkably compact compared to, say,
Zeiss lenses of similar specifications.
Another highlight of my trip was meeting up with Paul Reynolds, a list
member who lives in
Wolverhampton. Paul was able to try out the lenses for himself and took
a few portraits of my Indonesian wife (who was very flattered) :-)
FWIW, I can second Ray's opinion of the 100 f2.8 - having never had the
chance to use one before, I am now in serious danger of buying one. I saw
one in The London Camera Exchange in Cheltenham today for £169.00, but
managed to resist the temptation! It seemed a bit on the expensive side.They
also had a varifinder for £99.00. That seems about par for the course on
this side of the water.
Ray, as far as the portraits are concerned, the pleasure was all mine:) I'm
glad to hear the news about your daughter. I forgot to ask when I E mailed
you offline earlier.
