Yea, compare it to the best... Poor thing must have gotten an inferiority complex. I didn't like this lens on film as much as I liked the FA 28~70 F4.0 many it rest in peace. Seems that most aren't happy with that lens on digital...
I think that the F 35-70mm probably out resolves the 6mp sensor. Maybe I'll be disappointed with it when I finally get a K10D. Doug Franklin wrote: >P. J.
