Hi Tomcctv,
Well I kinda was with the same opinion at first. Then I found out that they box out a few years ago and the spec book and the prints are dated from 2016. They had varifical lenses from what I can recall some years prior to that. So the lens issue is just one of many I have encountered since bein handed the job. Honestly the spec is probably the most poorly written and confusing 966 pages I have seen to date. But I agree with you that the 3-9mm would have been a done deal for me. The ones that will require the 10-23 will be the ones I will have to relocate to the farther walls.
Appreciate it Tomcctv, great points!
