 Well, I kinda like the 10x zoom, and I never carried a 380mm with any 
 of my 35s, which is what it works out to.

 Y'know... for someone who spent plenty of time with 35s, I never even 
 checked to see what the shortest shutter speed was.

 Again, kinda strange, I think it does spot metering but I've never 
 tried it, which for someone who used to have a full manual 35 and also 
 shot a lot of Kodachrome... I guess I figure I'll fix the "problems" 
 with Adobe after the fact.
