Hello Craig,

Well you picked up a bargain there! The Rapid Omega should have the
focus lines for the 135mm - the Koni-Omega Rapid does not. Your Rapid
Omega should be fine with the 135mm and we're looking forward to
hearing about how well it performs.

Search the archives on http://www.koni-omega.org for Greg's contact
details - everything inside!

I would have been tempted to pick up the 58mm and finder as well but
resisting a bargain has always been difficult.......

Cheers,
        Clive
