But if you do not already have R glasses, unless you are convinced that R glass is just so much better than Zeiss/Sony (or heck, Nikon or Canon, for that matter), why not just use the vendor's glass? You will get whatever automation that the camera affords, and that has to worth a lot. What I may do though, is to find one or two "holy grail" of R glass. I heard the 100 macro is particularly stellar? This of course does not apply if you already own the R lens or can get ones at bargain basement prices etc. On Mon, Oct 25, 2010 at 5:50 PM, James Laird <digiratidoc at gmail.com> wrote: > Just to get off the D700 thread, I'd like the LUG's opinions of the > 28-70 and 35-70 R zooms.
