Actually Series 1 lenses go back to the late
Seventies, and the ones that were made by Kiron are
pretty darned good for their day. (the 90-180 macro,
90 macro, original 70-210 f3.5, the one-touch
varifocal 35-85mm f2.8, etc.)
Check out Bob Monaghan's Third Party Cult Classics
lens page if you own any older MF cameras and are
looking for lenses:

Warning: You can spend days surfing Bob's photography
pages, not only is he knowledgeable (though
opinionated) he's a pretty good writer and an ace
list-maker. If you really like medium format Bronicas,
his pages are a BLACK HOLE for time.

For what it costs, the 19-35mm f3.5-4.5 is a bargain.
It seems like the longer they get, the louder they
suck! :-)
