I am interested in buying a zoom-telephoto for my Canon A-1 and noticed something a little strange in the mail order prices. Can anyone explain why the Canon 70-210/f4 macro is $170.00 and the 80-200/f4 is $370.00. The huge price difference doesn't make sense to me. Also, I am interested in people comments on the Cokin filters before I go out and spend(waste) my money. Thanks in advance Joel Coltoff {psuvax,lime}!burdvax!coltoff
