Hmmm, right you are Rob - the glass is half full! lol... Now where can I get my hands on one of those Voightlander lenses... vbg tan. Hi Tan, It's all in your perspective. It just proves that the V is superb but the P is infinitely better at f1.8 too :-) Cheers, Rob Studdert

Interesting that you should as Chris, cause when I was talking to CR Kennedy the other day and asking them about an ideal lens to go on my *istD, I said that I wanted one that produces nice bokeh and they too had no idea what I was talking about (must a genetic thing with the Kennedy name, lol!)!!
