     This is my first response to net news so here goes...

     I have had great success with a lens that has not received much
publicity -- the Tokina 35-200 f3.5-f4.5 zoom.  Mine is in AI-S mount
for Nikon FA.  It, my 24 f/2 Nikon, and my 35 PC (to deal with recal-
citrant buildings) carried my too well through China last spring --
too well in that I had far too many good slides for a reasonable show
and discarding became truly painful.  Also, when I finally set up my
darkroom and started printing slides using Agfachrome Speed (another
phenomenal product), I found that the zoom had taught me (or allowed
me to develop) so many good habits about seeing and cropping and fram-
ing and composing, that there was little if any further cropping
needed to come up with some very good prints.
