> What mystifies me about zooms is that there is no 35 to 100 or 120to be had. That would, seemingly, be a wedding pro's dream zoom.
There was an A 35-105/3.5, an F 35-105/4-5.6 (a 105 f/5.6!??), and an A and F 35-135/3.5-4.5. KEH.com has them used, and quite cheap.

A35-105mm is viewed here as one of the best zoom ever made by Asahi while the 35-135 could be one of the worst.
I remember a friend who asked me a way to have wide-angle and 200mm in the same lens. Easy answer, 28-200mm. He changed his normal (50/2) for the zoom and then found the quality unacceptable, especially at 200mm. How come, he asked. Easy answer: you asked for too much. Long range AND quality.
The 24-90mm is the best long range zoom I've seen and it comes at a price. M24-35 was the first very good real WA zoom by Pentax and it had only a 1.5X range!
