Lucien-
Did you see this combo displayed at Photokina?  I wanted to play with it but
was told I could not because it was the only unit they had." :-(  A new 35/2
lens was also displayed and was obviously a new design but apparently
without asph elements.  It seems that Konica intentionally designs Hexanon
lenses to look more warm than razor sharp.

Cheers,
