A more realistic approach probably would be to consider a 90mm f/2.8 Elmarit: it's affordable and brings excellent mid-telephoto system capability, which probably would mean more interesting casual portraits, too. This 90mm also "hovers" in photography nirvana where performance is concerned. --> about your lens repair: I'm even surprised anyone would expect a repair that is not caused by defective workmanship or materials to go 100% free, even on prestige brands, unless a special insurance would have been bought. It IS a personal opinion, but I truly fail to understand that people expect an all-inclusive anything goes warranty on anything, except where explicit, a truly very rare thing ... I hope I'm not upsetting you; just a former audio store manager's point of view. Still, I think you have one of the best camera / lens and neck strap combination possible. ;+) Andre Jean Quintal
