G'day Trevor: I agree 100%, the 28-105 is also my most used lens on both the MZ-S and the *ist-D. My walkabout kit comprises that, an 18-35 and a 70-210 and I reckon I've got most bases covered in both film and digital. The only other lens I'd now like to get is the new 12-24, which would give me the same zoom range on digital as the 18-35 does on film.

Do you ever get up to Brisbane? If so, give me a hoy and we'll arrange something.

G'day Collin.
Mate, For the *ist DS, I like No.1 and No.8

The SMC F 35-135 is a very versatile lens if you don't mind the poor
close focus.

Hooroo.

I'm looking for amid-range zoom.  Something for small-event use.
(When I shot a Sunday School program and a ladies Christmas Tea
a few weeks ago, changing lenses was a hassle.

Please rate them as to feel, optical quality, and your overall
preference

1. 28-105 f/4.0-5.6 FA (p)
2. 28-105 mm f/4-5.6 FA (New )
3. 28-105 mm f/3.2-4.5 (Newer)
4. 28-135 mm f/4.0 A
5. 35-105 mm f/3.5 A
6. 35-105 mm f/4.0-5.6 F
7. 35-135 mm f/3.5-4.5 A
8. 35-135 mm f/3.5-4.5 F

Or is there a wider lens that you'd use for something like this?
Something faster than the kit 18-55?

Collin
