Mark,

It sure gets that way fast!!  Also heavy!!  Sure are great lenses, at least
the ones I have used seem to be.  Through the years I have used the 24/2.8,
which I liked but didn't use much; 35/1.4 - super, 35/2.0 also super,
50/2.0, 80/1.4 -super, 90/2.8, 100/2.8 APO, 180/3.4 and 180/2.8.  Don't
hear much about the 35/1.4 and the 80/1.4 which I liked as much as the
35/1.4-M ASPH and the better than the 75/.14-M.  It doesn't take long to
exhaust your bank account and credit and can't lift the bag off the floor
(my wife refuses to carry it!).
