It's what I take c.80% of my pictures with anyway. BTW: Hello, folks, I joined a few days ago and have been lurking to get the hang of what people talk about here. I've had the SpotF and a few lenses for years. In the last 15 months or so I've been taking a load more pictures - mostly of people, hence the 85 - and scanning my Ektachromes with a MicroTek 3600 film scanner, which is a very civilised way to do colour photography. I'm working on moving up to K-series from Spotmatics: I tend to feel cameras need a few decades to mature. I've been haunting eBay for a couple of months, but there still hasn't been a 35/2.0 K- or M-series along to partner the 85/1.4 I picked up there. Anyone know of a still-wider 35mm that's available in K-mount? Yes, I like lots of maximum aperture. My sight isn't the finest, and lots of light is good. --- John Dallman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
