The first version (light grey) was not The green version isn't too bad. In fact, it's actually better when hooked up to the Leica 1.4 Apo Converter. I guess because it's better in the middle, and that's what gets through the converter. It's own 1.4 converter is not good at all. It is definitely a good stop-gap lens to buy, but a good 280 2.8 used is selling right now for $3295. If I were in a position to buy one, I'd jump on it for the extra thousand or so for vastly superior optical performance. ========== Eric Welch St. Joseph, MO http://www.ponyexpress.net/~ewelch IRS: We've got what it takes to take what you've got!
