Aram,
 
Peter M. C.Werner has some test shots of the 35-70/4, 28-70/3.5 and also the 
Angenieux 35-70/2.3 zooms on the FredMiranda thread.
 
However, I to have had problems finding a "objective" comparison between these 
lenses, so hopefully something will emerge.
 
Tim

        I am thinking the unforgivable - actually buying a zoom lens.  I 
thought a
        mid range one would be the place to start since the majority of my 
shots are
        with a 35, 50, or the 100 APO.
        So, I have heard good things about the 35-70 f-4 zoom.  I know there is 
also
        a 28-70 f-3.5-4.5 zoom, but I can only remember vague not-so-good 
references
        to it.  I checked out Doug's site and he has no experience or 
description of
        the latter.  The extra wide range might be a good thing if I ever 
decided to
        get a digital body with a crop factor.
        
        So, can anyone give me feedback on these two lenses?
        
        Don't worry.  I will not be giving up my primes, especially the 100.  I 
just
        thougth it might lighten my load a bit and speed some travel/tourist 
type
        shots with the zoom.
        
        Aram
