Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Claude. I take your point. And I don't disagree with it. But 
now I'm curious to know which lenses you'd recommend for getting the 
highest performance possible from the 1D Mark II instead. Perhaps the 
zooms are competitive for it, at least in the normal and higher range?

Thanks again.
