Thanks for your answer.
I think the 35-80, which I own already 10 years, is a wonderful zoom for
colour, but somehow I don't appreciate it for b&w.
The 85, 90 & 100 are not common and don't come cheap in The Netherlands and
when they're available for Europe on eB*y of sellers from the USA the s&h
are very steep.
