Matching 24mm will be hard, because the 30mm Distagon is probably what you need and it is VERY expensive used. If you get the 40mm distagon or 50mm distagon, be sure to get the FLE (floating element) versions, they are CONSIDERABLY sharper, especially at the edges, than the non-FLE versions. Aside from the non-FLE wideangles, the Zeiss lenses for the Hassy are all good. -- Chris Crawford Fine Art Photography Fort Wayne, Indiana 260-486-2581 http://www.chriscrawfordphoto.com My portfolio http://blog.chriscrawfordphoto.com My latest work! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Christopher-Crawford/48229272798 Become a fan on Facebook On 1/10/11 6:15 PM, "Richard Man" <richard at imagecraft.com> wrote: > What's the "best" Hassy forum?
