Oops! I saw the V in Vs. and thought this was about the Vivitars,
forgetting that Vivitar made a 24-70 and 28-90 but not a 24-90.

Lets not forget that the FA* 28-70/2.8 AL is compromised by NOT sporting
IF. Lets not forget either that the 31 Limited has eight (8) AL elements.

Heh, indeed:) And therefore 31 Ltd. is cheap, isn't it?:)

Hi,

You ARE mistaken, as the lens probably designed by Tamron is FA
28-105/4-5.6 [IF], but the question was about FA 28-105/3.2-4.5 AL [IF],
that has design
similar to the 24-90 and looks the same out. This lens is built better
than 27-70/4 IMHO, all rings moves
Peter, I don't know how the Power Zoom 28-105 would handle on the LX.
Most autofocus lenses are harder to focus manually than manual focus
lenses (less resistance). It is a large lens, which is why it balances
nicely on the large 1p.

Hi,
If I were you, I'd go for 28-70 if I needed to save some money. It's really a great
lens with constant aperture (a tiny bit faster than the 24-90 at the long end),
although it has no IF. On the other hand, if money weren't a problem I'd definitely go
for 24-90, since it's a great lens too

I'd avoid buying the 28-105, since, of course if i'm
not mistaken, this is the lens based on the Tamron
construction. I don't mean it's

I look at posts like this and my guts tighten up. Let me translate some of

IF, internal focusing, means it is a fixed focus lens that instead

Peter, for the Z-1p you might also consider the Power Zoom FA 28-105
f4-5.6. This lens was designed for the Z-1p (I own two of these bodies,
and have one of these lenses on each). It is a very good, sharp lens
that gives 1:3 macro at 105 mm. It is an older design and is probably
out of production

From the February 2002 Shutterbug, in a review of the 24-90 and the 31
Limited:
Such 'hybrid' aspherics [i.e., bonding resin to the glass] are used in

thanks for your information. I saw that a German dealer is seeling new ones

If AL and IF signalize cheapness to you then you live in a parallel
