@Tom Kershaw If you're thinking of getting one, get one now - they have now discontinued all but the "Jetsetter" version (which was the nicest of the three versions anyway - better construction with a metal shell instead of all plastic). They may be planning on killing them off soon - who knows. They're also quite reasonable now- the Jetsetter is $225 on B&H's website. Get one, play with it a bit, then shop on Ebay for one of the Russian glass lenses they made for it. I paid about $100 for the 90mm lens, which is what I've been using. Glass-wise, it's on a par with anything German or Japanese. I shot one image with the sun in the frame, coming through the trees directly into the lens - no flare. The plastic 90mm is acceptable in quality - the 58mm plastic is marginal. There is also a 117mm glass lens, which I also have, but I've shot almost this entire series using the glass 90mm.
