Sorry Pascal that seems to be the word and at the moment I've got my order in!

By the way I agree with you, that one would think they'd want to get as
many out as they can as I'm sure it will be a good sellng product.  But
those who really need a 2.8 are fewer than those who already have the 3.5 &
4 versions and quite happy with them. So I'm sure they're taking that into
account.
