It's one of my favorite lens and my only zoom lens for the Leicaflex SL2 and R5. It's not as compact and light-weight as the Leica 28-70mm f3.5-4.5 Vario-Elmar (Sigma to Leica specification), but on the other hand it is not as bulky and heavy as the more well known Angenieux 45-90mm f2.8 zoom lens. The Angenieux 35-70mm f2.5-3.3 zoom lens has separate control rings for focusing and setting the focal lenght. Maximum aperture: f2.5 at 35mm, f2.8 at 50mm, f3.3 at 70mm Minimum aperture: f22 Optical construction: 11 elements Min focusing distance: 1 meter at 35mm, 46 cms from 50 to 70mm Macro: 1:5.6 Length: 136mm Weight: 525 grams Max diameter: 71mm Supplied items: Removable square hood, 58mm UV filter, intermediate filter holder Hope this helps. :-) \\|// {* *} --------------------------ooO0--( )--0Ooo-------------------------- Ken Takarada takarada@gol.com Tokyo, Japan "Life looks better through a Summilux 50mm f1.4." -------------------------------------------------------------------
