Tris:
No problem about the confusion, I'm still trying to get some names
straight!
I am finishing my Graduate work in Architecture at the Illinois
Institute of Technology in Chicago. I've paid for a good part of my
education doing arch. photo jobs and really enjoy the experience of
living in such a great city! I started in Innsbruck, Austria, but
decided to come back to the states to figure out what I really want to
do. Through 2 years of arch. internship I convinced myself back into
architecture, but never lost the interest in photography. Actually the
two disciplines go quite well together if you approach them both as a
form of communication..

I apologize, Bob. Who's who around here isn't clear to me yet and I
didn't notice until a few posts down that you apparently already have
some primes. It's morning here and I'm on my third cup of java and
stressed out over UPS. I'll try to pay better attention in the future.

Where are you studying? And for what?

I don t mean to suggest that I could live with only 2 lenses! If that
were the case, I would have never subscribed to the list! ;) I meant to
say that I can only buy 2 lenses at present to fill my immediate needs.
This certainly doesn t disqualify me from purchasing something in the
future, but for speed, efficiency, and weight, I want the best options
for right now.
I currently have a 70-210 Vivitar, but the size and weight sometimes
scares small children&.

If you're only going to have two lenses I'd suggest a couple of zooms:
a combo kit of the 37-70 and 85-250 sounds about right. With nothing
shorter than an 85mm you're prospects are limited. A somewhat cheaper
option for the longer focal lengths would be the 70-210, though I've
never used it so can't say re its operation, other than it seems to be
listed by Gary as not having separate zoom/focus rings, a drawback for
my money. (I say "seems" for the reason there is also no "Note 3"
appended to its listing, which specifically denotes a single-function
ring. So does anyone know for sure?)

To keep myself lean in these graduate school years, I need to limit
myself to 2. my original thought was to have a 90/2 and 200/4, but the
85/2 focal length and size are more appealing than the 90/2, and the
distance you get w/ the 135 seems to be enough. I also have the 2x-A
that could make a nice 270/5.6 instead of a gargantuan 400/8. remember,
the subject is architectural details, and I don't need that much "reach"
What would y'all say about the 135/2.8 over the 200/4?
<snip>
No! a true Zuikoholic should have all... 85/2, 90/2, 100/2, 135/2.8,
135/3.5, I have them all :-)
