Almost forgot about the 28mm f2, which was our main topic. What it
does with light images stops nothing short of superb. Can't speak to
the f2.8 as I've never worked with one. It could be very competent
as well. But the 2's something special, and that's for sure.

Yes, I was refering to the 100/2.8 vs the 100/2, I forgot to mention
that. Thing is I have the 2.8 silvernose and like it a lot - for
light weight and compactness, acceptable speed, colour, 49 mm filters
etc. But - and here's the problem - it always feels I "should" get
the f2 version of every lens, though they are often heavier, more
expensive and I will have to start collecting a new round of filters.
It's like the feeling you had in school when "everybody" else had the
new fast bike, or the "right" logo on their jeans. Or is this just
plain ol' dirty Zuikoholism; "gimmie more"? I even started thinking
of changing occupation (run a theatre now - not a lot of money in
that) to be able to buy that 2/3 stop faster version of a lens I
already have. Then again, I know some of you out there will gladly
buy two 4T's in a day; no names mentioned;-)
Well, this mail didn't really lead to anything, time for bed.
