Well, once you recover financially, go for the MC Symmar-S dude. It may be hard to believe, but it really is much sharper. Allows even more cropping and the multicoating doesnt hurt either! I calibrated mine to the RF and its a super P&S! JCO

Can't afford more. I needed to replace the shutter, and a complete lens was not much more expensive. In one way I wish I could afford a more modern lens, but in another way I like the look of the old ones, sharpness is not everything. The one coming is supposed to be mint from the 60's. -- J. C.
