Three people responded. However, I have looked far and wide and sought many opinions. In short, buy the best you can afford and buy West German. The Japanese are getting better, but they still fall short of the West German kit. In terms of value for money, the east German Carl Zeiss are very good. =========================================================================== From : Jonathan M Spencer Mail : Computing Lab., University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, NE1 7RU, England Phone : +91 222 8229 ARPA : J.M.Spencer%newcastle.ac.uk@cs.ucl.ac.uk JANET : J.M.Spencer@uk.ac.newcastle UUCP : !ukc!newcastle.ac.uk!J.M.Spencer ===========================================================================
