[QUOTE="aroy, post: 280967, member: 16090"] The 50mm F1.2 AIS is still made so is the 28mm F2.8 AIS and a few more MF lenses. These lenses are all that remain of the MF lense line up. All the MF lenses manufactured still fill in the gaps in the present AF line up, either in the F (F1.2) or sharpness (28mm F2.8) coupled with better materials and lower costs. For most of the line up Zooms have taken over day to day work, especially for harried professionals who have to change perspective at a moments notice. What I miss in the line up is the 400mm F5.6 or F4, which should have been there as an inexpensive birding lense. At wide angle, with digital it is very easy to stitch panoramas so the only utility of a dedicated wide angle is for professionals who have to get it in one shot. For those who need it, the 14-24 is all that is required at this end. [/QUOTE]
