Thanks, Fred. Sorry 'bout the confusion. Are you talking about the 35-105?

No, I wouldn't say it's rare. I think it's a little more commonly seen than its sibling, the A 28-135/4. > Any comments on the performance of this lens is greatly appreciated, > please. The A 35-105/3.5 is an excellent zoom, highly regarded here on the PDML. Its build quality is high (which, of course, means that it's a heavy lens). It is sharp and contrasty, as zoom lenses go. It's so-called "macro" unction is nothing to write home about, though (as in most so-called "macro zooms"). I actually prefer the slightly greater versatility (a bit wider zoom range) of the A 28-135/4, and I no longer have either of my A 35-105/3.5's (I did have two of them at one time). > It's a very nice focal length for portraits on the D, isn't it > (equivalent to 52-202mm on 135 film)? It ought to do very nicely on a Pentax DSLR, I would think. Fred
