I hafta defend zoom lenses as well. For almost 20 years now I've
used a Nikkor 35-105 zoom with excellent results -- it's razor sharp. My
other camera is usually equipped with a Nikkor 70-210 zoom (auto-focus,
although it's mounted on my fully manual FM!!!) and loaded with
Kodachrome 200 to keep the shutter speeds up so I can use the camera
hand-held for some nice medium tele shots. I wouldn't give up either of
these lenses!!!
Incidentally (and I know this will open another can of worms) I also
really like Kodachrome 200. I use it in all kinds of weather with my
70-210 zoom and when I give a slide program with K64 and K200 liberally
intermixed, no one knows the difference. K200 also seems to hold color a
lot better in low light or on grubby days, and its natural tendency to
be slightly "red" gives outstanding results at sunset. Iwould never --
repeat, never -- use K200 for night photography work, however. It's red
shift goes off the scale when the exposure time approaches or exceeds
one second.
