Sam (and others), just a comment on your 300f2.8/TMZ 70-210/Tri-X comparison. It is extremely difficult to compare lens sharpness if you use different films, especially in (high-speed) b&w, where the developper and the shape of the grain can play a major role in the perception of the sharpness. This said, I don't question the facts that the TMZ is a great film and that the Nikkor 300 2.8 is razor sharp. Nicolas
