YOU missed MY point, and that is that a 35mm lens is NEVER going to be as easy as a 105mm lens to focus at the same f-stop/speed on ANY given camera and YOU gave the 105mm lens as your reference/example when the post was about the 35/3.5 lenses in particular. Dont tell me that if you use a new camera/finder, that the 35mm lens is just as easy as a 105mm lens at the same fstop becuase your full of BS if you are trying to say that. It never can be. YOU used the wrong example to prove your point in the first reply post by saying you just used a 105mm lens and had no problems with it. jco

While I used a 105 recently, I've also used wide lenses as well. Until you spend some time using the current DSLRs, you've no idea about how bright or useful the finder may be with slower and wider lenses. Shel > [Original Message] > From: J. C.
