Hi Mike... Welcome to the group. I have the SMC-A 70-210/4 and use it often with my ZX-M. Although it's a little slow and a bit heavy, I've taken some of my favorite pix with it. I've been happy with the quality on enlargements up to 8x12. The macro feature isn't really useful in my opinion, as the lens is just too big for doing a lot of macro work. On the plus side, the lens is a one-touch zoom (both zoom and focus are done with one control surface) and it is a "true" zoom (you can focus at an object then change the focal distance without readjusting the focus).
You can read more subjective comments about this lens at the awesome PDML lens comments site: <http://www.concentric.net/~smhalpin/LongComments.html#ZoomsDET> t On 11/30/01 7:08 AM, Mike Gezing wrote: > Hello to all, > > I'm new to the group although I have been following your discussions on > "mail-archive.com" for the last six months.
