Yeah, and pigs fly. I have owned and used two vintage Nikon 20mm lenses. One of my co-workers now is using one of them (after having the front element replaced because he's pretty hard on lenses). It's a darn good lens, but it can't touch the 19 Elmarit. I'm going to post a picture tonight on my web page of a woman sitting in front of a church. Not a terribly inspired image, I'll agree, but it sure has the 19 look! I'll leave it a bit bigger than most of my other pictures, so you an look at it close. :-) ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch Pi R Squared?
