Dear friends,
1. My reference to internal focusing was to ZOOM ACTION in the N 70-200 vs the comparable Canon lens mentioned, which has no outside moving parts.
2. The N100 Macro I do consider SLOW in focussing.
3. Apparantly you guys in the states are not aware of the 3 months extended launching periode in Germany vs. the US, France and UK. During that time N-Digital Fanatics (Like me.....) were given the most ludicrous and contradictory reasons with respect to availability or lack thereof. Culminating in their announcement, in autumn 2002, the camera might not be launched at all and the KYOCERA production stopped all together, due to unsurmountable problems encountered. Followed by backtracking and again claiming uncertainty. The camera is around locally for a month now and no pertinent official reassurance as to remedies to the persistant flaws has been available to date. The only redeeming measure taken was the lowering of the price - propably forced by 1Ds entering meanwhile.
Who would blame me loosing all hope in an initially exceptionally promising concept. As already relayed, I was exasperated by the performance and demeanor of CONTAX/YASHICA/KYOCERA which added insult to injury. I am therefor convinced my above postings were pertinent and to the point - and last not least aimed at encouraging other disappointed forum members to go for a new but much more sensible solution. That apart from venting my anger amongst birds of similar feathers......, or so i would beleive.
