I kept my F3 and 85 1.4 (AIS) Keeble & Shuchat >in Palo Alto (Great dealer!) was not quite as generous as they wanted an additional $1200 in cash. No regrets or remorse. I've shot close >to 50 rolls of film in the month I've had the MP... Jon I use all the above mentioned Nikon gear, except the macro where I prefer the very old 55mm Micro Nikkor f3.5. Probably under an economical point of view the trade has been correct but I would be really very sad to say adieu to such an excellent photographic tool as the F5 whose light measurement system is the best I've found (many thousands of pics without any serious light mistake). The 20mm is a good lens, not so much the 50 1.2 (The 58mm Nocti has much better coma problems corrected), and the 50 1.8 is a, referring SLR field, small and very good standard lens. So all of them, specially the F5, are really good photographic tools. Enjoy the MP. Felix - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
