[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I too just acquired this lens (the VC Skopar 35/2.5) (referring to the company as VC always makes me think of the Vietcong which isn't really fair): it is quite good, sharp and very rich in color. OF COURSE I HAVEN"T YET PRINTED ANYTHING -- I judge only having looked at the 100 percent size images on computer -- and I am taking very seriously Mark's admonitions that nothin' means nothin' til the picture's on the paper and one day I hope to take a picture actually worth printing -- but that said, judging against other putatively "good" lenses, I declare it very good and quite a bargain. It looks gratifyingly old school and is delightfully tiny and light.
