Leica also chose to go with 280mm for the name I'll bet because with a 1.4 converter that was created for it would make it exactly 400, instead of 420mm that people think they were getting with Nikons and Canons. By the way, Canon's is still a 280. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch The generation of random numbers is too important to be left to chance. -Robert R. Coveyou
