The M100/2.8 is a nice lens and a quality piece of gear.
It is a bit slower than the M85/2.0 but sharper, I think.

You will enjoy it for portraits.

Nikon have just released some new super telephoto lenses. The interesting part is that
they use diecast magnesium bodies like the MZ-S. The new 600/4 weights 2kg less than
the Pentax FA* 600/4! Now thats something for Pentax. Now how about a new FA*II series
made of magnesium?

What you've discovered is the inverse square law. When you do bellows or
extension tube work, your exposure has to increase when you extend your
