Dave, The 35-70/4 ROM lens is great if you can live with F4 and the limited 2x zoom range. It produces sharp and saturated slides; used Astia 100F and Provia 100F/400F. This has been my favorite travel lens.

I know that several 35-70's were marketed under the Leica name. Some were fine and others were not the greatest. Later, I'll refer to the tests but, as a user, what are your observations re. the performance of this lens? Have you used it with slide film?
