hit the wrong button and sent the message a bit too soon. Darn.
As I was saying, the 35-70 is outstanding. I have compared it to many
other lenses from Canon, and now from Nikon and it is their equal or most
likely better. Low distortion, sharp, contrasty, colorful images on a
digital camera as well as film. And the 50 Cron is also an amazing lens at
two stops faster. If you can get along with a fixed FL of 50, then by all
means get that, as the two stops is nice to focus with on a modern digital
or an older film. If you want more versatility as far as FL is concerned,
don't hesitate to get the 35-70/4.
