dkCambridgeshire Posted November 20, 2016 Share #21  Posted November 20, 2016 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) There are three Leica 35-70R lenses - four if you count both of the 35-70/3.5 Sigma designed models … and five including the Angenieux but which does not appear in The Leica Pocket Book 8th Edition.    dunk   Apologies the 35-70/3.5 lens was a Minolta design - two versions with same optical design but different mechanics. Sigma designed the 28-70/3.5-4.5 versions 1 and 2.  dunk Edited November 20, 2016 by dkCambridgeshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazuhikonakayama Posted March 1, 2018 Share #22  Posted March 1, 2018 I bought 35-70/2.8 with $9000.... But it’s too heavy. Not light focus ring.. I sold 10,000 : ) I hate zoom lens. I only keep primes.  I love R9 + 50 !  I do not recommend to try 35-70/2.8. It’s waste of time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom0511 Posted March 11, 2018 Share #26 Â Posted March 11, 2018 overhyped since long IMO. Probably a great lens but who needs a heavy zoom which is hard to service and adjust and doesnt have AF for precise focus? collectors item. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve McGarrett Posted March 12, 2018 Share #27 Â Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Had it been AF, it would have been a nice paperweight by now... Edited March 12, 2018 by Steve McGarrett 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
