The 17-35 Nikon lens, which I use and like, is quite good, Mark - but,
no, it does NOT blow Canon's out of the water.;-)

And, yes, the ED1s is expensive - but B&H is selling it for $7500, not
the 9K you quoted, and that is just $500 more than the price being
quoted for the vaporware Leica D9 BACK which reportedly will not have a
full-size sensor.

And their 9 grand full chip camera is 9 grand!

That add up to be 2 Leica MP's each with their own Noctilux's and a
suitcase filled with film. (Or diaper bag, your choice)

Nikon's wide zoom is the 17-35mm f/2.8 D ED-IF AF-S lens and is said to
blow Canon's right out of the water.

I'm getting one this week.

There is talk of a 2/3's format for film. As lenses will be made to fit
this size why not take advantage of it for the stupid people who would
ever want to shoot real film again. Flim. Analog people.

That's all the real estate I need!
