Thanks for the input, Mark. It is fairly front heavy, but it is a good range for some of what I do.
I also picked up an A 35-105/3.5 at the same time. It is a little smaller and easier to manage. But there are occasions when both lenses might be used on both bodies at the same time, so having some duplicity is good. Both lenses seem to render people rather nicely - not to harsh, but still reasonably sharp. The 35-105 appears sharper wide open, but both look pretty good by 5.6-8.0. I have put up one pic so far shot with the 28-135 but haven't really had any comments other than "cute", so we'll probably just try it out and see how it goes. -- Best regards, Bruce Friday, April 15, 2005, 3:12:40 PM, you wrote: ME> Bruce wrote: >> I am evaluating this zoom and wondering if anyone >> out there has one and cares to share your feelings about it.
