Hmm. I've owned both (two DR's and four rigids) and sold the rigids, as they run, at least in these parts, about twice what the DR costs, and they are identical optically. The DR is a magnificent lens. Those interested should check out Erwin's analysis. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
