Subject: [Leica] LEICA 35-70 zooms

Good Evening,

	Looking at LEICA 35-70mm (f/3.5, f/4 macro ) zooms,
	and the 28-70mm vario-elmar f/3.5-4.5),
	which is it that is generally considered
	the better performer in terms of optics ?
	Color rendition and shadow detail are important.

	The older LEICA 35-70mm f/3.5 with integrated
	push-pull zoom and focusing ring sort of attracts me,
	but I'd sure like to hear about it's unorthodox
	dual function integrated ring: is it wonderful
	or a source of frustration in actual life ?

	Are these zooms Made in Germany
	or by a third party,  overseas possibly ?

	Andre Jean Quintal
