I'm thinking that a lot of the draw backs with using a mirrored lens, such as the f8, and the bokeh issues, may be resolved when the lens is used on a digital...

Of those two, from all I've read, I'll agree with Magnus on the 300 being the better choice. That's probably what I will get next, realistically speaking. As...
I agree... I bought the A200, saved a couple hundred dollars and bought a super clean 50mm 1.4 in excellent condition with the money saved and have no...
