yeah, I have a mc 100/2.8 and I agree that it is very good, though I
have no experience with the faster version. I got one cover shot on the
local newspaper with that one. Just last week I got another photo in
the paper of a candid with the 50/1.4. I guess I'm a half way decent
photog afterall......
Be seeing you.
