I checked the Tri-State ad.  It does not offer an ASPH 90, it offers a 
NEW! 90/2.8 Satin Chrome.  Also the 21/24/28 finder should read
21/24/28 finderS.  They are not offering a triple finder which is rumored
about; rather any ONE of the three separate finders for $269.95.  I hope
this helps clarify.   Tom P.
