I bought one varifocal lens 35-85mm vivitar if I recall, and absolutely hated the ergonomics of that one. Never again, sold it immediately. I don't care if the optics are better, the handling matters too.

The S1 35-70mm f2.8 varifocus is also very good, though a K lens and not as convenient (handling refocusing and stop down metering can sometimes become hectic). J.C.

He can damage himself with either eating or drinking; he can ruin himself with gambling. If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog. --G. K.
