AF> Fred, AF> It looks like this lens has the zoom ring outermost and the focus ring quite AF> close to the camera body for a lens of this size. I have never noticed this AF> layout before, is the Angenieux lens unusual in this respect? How did it AF> handle?
At least from the pictures (alas, I never held this lens, as I am not Fred <g>), it seems a more logical approach than the one with zoom ring closer to body. After all, you change focal length less times than you focus, therefore, resting your hand under the body, you can do both focus change and aperture change, while zooms stays same. Very logical and ergonomical, at least in teory, from the picture :) perhaps reality is otherwise... Best regards, Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
