No. I got rid of them all at the same time. I _did_ like most of the
results from the 30-75, to be truthful. I was perhaps a bit rash at the
time. The 75-150 had some separation and the 50/1.4 never performed to what
I thought it should. Junked 'em all, probably too quickly. However, the
primes I replaced them with, along with my better habits, now produce
photos closer to what I'd hoped for initially. You're right though, I never
gave the 30-75 an honest chance. I did like how small it was....

Cooling filter? Like an 80C, or something similarily pale blue?

Thanks for the kind words. My instructor sometimes chuckles 'cause I'm all
over the map!
