The lenses would be:

  50mm f/1.4
  24mm f/2.8
  105mm f/2.5

And what's this "N*k*n" and "C*non" stuff anyway?  Just type out "Nikon" and
"Canon" and quit playing games.  Sheesh!

I bought a Nikon F100 last week and am darn glad I did.  (If you're shooting
soccer from the ends of the field, which is the only place WUSA seems to let
you, you need good autofocus.)  First Nikon I've had since I traded all my
old Nikon F gear in for OM equipment.  I still like shooting with the OMs
since that's more about photography than picture taking, and I also love
shooting with my Cosina/Voigtlander R2 RFs.
