Dear Just Curious, You should see your doctor about these compulsive posts. However, I would venture to guess that something like the 28-70 is basically a 70mm lens that has a variable retrofocus-converter to dial in the zoom focus length making it physically longer at shorter focal lengths.

Darren, Yes, I thought of the issues with the SDM. As for the previous lower prices, - I do not think that's really a factor here. If it were a single case, I would understand, but it is really the market price. The market adjusts to the prices going up. The prices being this low consistentl

Interestingly, it's an Aspherical design, which is somewhat exotic for an 85. Wonder if it's any good. Loks like Samyang may be looking at moving up in the lens world. They're currently the replacement for Cosina at the low end of the 3rd party market. -Adam On Mon, Nov 24, 2008 at 3:58 AM, Bob
