[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Stan, I have the original Sigma 28-70 Zoom for the Leica R. It is an OK lens, but nothing too spectacular, and the mechanics are not the greatest, but the optics are OK. The newer version is supposed to be better, both optically and mechanically. Don't know anything about the 35-70 zoom. gene ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stan Yoder" <s.yoder at verizon.net> To: lug at leica-users.org Sent: Monday, April 25, 2011 4:07:13 PM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: [Leica] 28/35-70 R zooms: recommendations? There is the Sigma-designed 28-70, the Minolta-designed f3.5 35-70, and the Solms-designed f4 35-70. Puts is not especially enthusiastic about any of them, though the last-mentioned above seems the least worst. The Solms 28-70 would be too big/heavy for me. What do 'yinz' (Pittsburghese for 'you all' or 'you ones') say? Stan Yoder _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
