inferior to 35mm lenses.

OF COURSE the MF lenses were judged by them to be inferior. How else can they

Nikon F100/F5 Canon EOS and all the latest AutoFocus lenses? There's no big

liked something they reviewed that was a current item in the big name
manufacturer's line? I doubt you could find one item.
