holmes Posted August 13, 2009 Share #1 Posted August 13, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Could use feedback from currant or former users of this lens. Trying to determine if it is a worthwhile investment, plus ease of use and how it handles chromes. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Hi holmes, Take a look here The R 35 F 4 Vario Elmar. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted August 13, 2009 Share #2 Posted August 13, 2009 Is that a 35 - 70 you are seeking information on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
holmes Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted August 13, 2009 I went brain dead. It's the zoom 35-70 f 4 that I'm wondering about. Thanks for catching my mistake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhoersch Posted August 14, 2009 Share #4 Posted August 14, 2009 Excellent general purpose walk-around lens, light yet robust, IQ as good as that of primes, even a very useable macro setting - all for a bargain price. One of the best bargains in the R system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivar B Posted August 14, 2009 Share #5 Posted August 14, 2009 I fully agree with Manfred, this is a very versatile and desirable lens. I was very happy with mine, although if you like to shoot in available light, f4 is a problem at times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted August 14, 2009 Share #6 Posted August 14, 2009 The 35-70 range is relatively limited yet very useful in practice. I did test a 35-70 against my old 35 Summicron at f4 and the prime wins hands down but go to 5.6/8 and it's equal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooky Posted August 14, 2009 Share #7 Posted August 14, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) A nice lens - perfectly fine and usable - a good addition to any R kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
