Conventional wisdom perhaps but then with Leica with aren't necessarily dealing with the conventional. I suggest you check out Erwin Puts authoritative test of the 2.8 Vario where he show the performance of certain fixed focal length lenses is actually bettered by the zoom. http://www.imx.nl/photosite/leica/rseries/testr/ve283570.html I was a very sceptical purchaser of the f4 35-70 but have been seriously impressed by its overall performance. - -- David Prakel dprakel@rochester.rr.com
