Well Ryan, I can't help you with a choice among the listed lenses, but I do
have a suggestion: a used SMC-A 20/2.8; there was one on KEH a few days ago
for about $465 IIRC, that puts it right into the price range.

If you think that's boring our cat is called Kitty. Don't blame me, she was

OK, I am not a techie, so let me try.
Imagine your photo as a matrix of 3000 lines on the screen in front of you,
2000 picture elements wide. Work your way across the first line and evaluate

I have had the 300 mm f4.5 FA for several years and it is one of my

more sense if I had copied the original msg, and it would have made even
more sense if I had sent it just to Ken as I intended. I hit the wrong
button. But thanks for your

lenses. I've used the FA 300/4.5, the A* 100 Macro, various Limited lenses,

Bah, just when a good discussion was going, someone comes along and provides
factual information! What a bummer! Tan, I am kidding of course. I think

My local store has an *ist-D on the shelf, it is priced at US$1550 without
