On different textures, I discussed this point at Solms. From the response
I got ("it's a question of getting used to") I could gather that they do
not intend to change that. Just look at the new Elmarit-R 35-70/2.8 ASPH,
it also has two identical rubber textures for zooming and focusing
(unlike Nikon). But you get indeed used to it after some time.
