Aren't you on the Right Coast, Doug? Night owl?
LOL
Don, I did get a chance to handle the lens a bit, though I didn't shoot more than a few frames with it. Lance from DT was nice enough to bring one by with the XF last weekend along with the new 35. I'm new to the digital MF scene, and it was a bit overwhelming taking everything in (more my inexperience than anything else -- Lance was very helpful and patient with my newb questions). It does have some heft to it, especially when mounted to the XF, but I'm confident I could shoot handheld for a long day with it. I did find the focus to be a little on the slow side, certainly something I could live with. The limiter switch did make a big difference (as Doug mentioned). Perhaps it's my limited perception, however, to me, the new 120mm seems to be more solidly built than it's predecessor. I'm not certain if this is the new direction that SK will be taking with all their new lenses, but the new 35 and 120 are built with the same solid feel that the XF has over the DF, IMHO.
