and me too! I've never owned a zoom lens, so that bit doesn't apply to me,
but, having owned a succession of Nikons for the last 30 years or so, I have
an F5 now. I love it very much, it's very clever, and it works extremely
well, so maybe I'm a bit perverted, but do you know what I crave? An F2 or a
Leica. Funny old world, ain't it? I need the F5 for professional reasons,
but for my own shots, which are the ones I like the best, I know what I'd go
for, and it sure as hell doesn't include AF or zoom lenses...or electronics
for that matter.
Best Wishes,
Paul
