bocaburger Posted September 9, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 9, 2016 I had that lens back when I had an R system and I agree it was an excellent lens. I always found 35-70 restrictive, and that I could accomplish much the same with just a 35 or a 50 and foot-zooming, logistics permitting. However I have been using the heck out of my $250 70-210/4 Leinolta zoom on the M240. Much lighter and lots cheaper than the Kyocereica 80-200, still with surprisingly good optical quality for a zoom of its age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not forget the good Visoflex lenses° * andthe cheap and fundamentally simple bellows (tilt)*. ° Here are suggestions for bridging the Visoflex Distance* with possibly existing extension tubes. - This is the real original Visoflex*! - OK OT (;-) Thorsten * see Images as examples in the german forum part.

scott kirkpatrick Posted September 9, 2016 Share #5 Posted September 9, 2016 Actually, the 35-70 R is quite a nice walkabout lens, and not too heavy, it balances nicely. L8900517.jpg It and the 21-35 zoom that came along a little later are both great on the SL, too. It struck me as interesting that David Farkas and Luis Mora, shooting a demo 4K video with the SL about using the SL on the street used four M lenses for the street shooting and two T lenses for the video work. scott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmahto Posted September 10, 2016 Share #8 Posted September 10, 2016 This is my version of SL. (It is "poorer" than Jaap's) AI-S Zoom-Nikkor 28-85 zoom on M240. I got it last year for under $50 and today I saw it on B&H for $250. I had bought it just for fun since it was so cheap. Today I took it out just to test out EVF only shooting experience (I am 99% RF guy). I kept the camera on all the time (with 2min auto power off + review off). Of course there is a delay in camera waking up but I am not in a hurry. Walked around for two hours, shot 70 pics and lost 25% of battery power. Focusing and framing using EVF was easy even through sun glasses. Shot mostly at f/5.6.And yes, it is sharp enough. Verdict? I will not hesitate to take it out again. Welcome, dear visitor!

lanetomlane Posted September 11, 2016 Share #9 Posted September 11, 2016 I use the 35 to 70 R on the M; you're right, it is a great combination. Cheers, Tom Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted September 14, 2016 Share #10 Posted September 14, 2016 Well, Jaap, your topic has made me remember that in some drawer at home, I do have a 28-70 (Leitz-Sigma)... the only R lens I have had till now (and having never had a R body... came to me as "semi-free" in the context of a complex exchange of gear many years ago) : finally, having now a R/M adapter (arrived Yesterday) , I can give a try to it... it's about 15 years that it is not seeing a bit of light...
