No, it shouldn't be avoided! The 100/2.8 is one of the Zuikos where the SC
version is simply wonderful!

C.H.,
Of course you are right (excerpt from list)
Lens Low High Average
100/2.0 21 $375 $535 $439
100/2.8 93 $77 $311 $137
My deepest apologies to the list - I was posting when the doorbell rang
- I just received my 3-Ti (See former post under "The Beauty" topic)
Me slaps [self] on forehead, drooling over new toy......, grabbing film
going outdoors shooting pics.....
On the MC/SC issue with the 100/2.8, after looking at the sample page,
it seems the Black Nose with a serial# below 160000 should be avoided
(see below - excerpt from the sample again)
