Yes. therfore I like it a lot. And 1000 DKK is a good price for the 3.6, isn't 
it?

I bought my mint 3.5-4.5 for 900 DKK two years ago. Not bad, isn't it? >From 
time to time I read your FS posts on DBA or DeGuleSider (?) and therefore have 
got a clue on your selings. Not bad, neither are the prices.

You're right. I have used a POL on the 3.5-4.5 a lot for landscape photos, 
where focus does not matter and hyperfocal setting is the way to do it.

Do you mean the clearly separated focus and zoom grips or the non-rotating 
front element?
