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.

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.
