I promised I would report about this lens I bought recently.

Least I can say is that I am amazed.

Here at 35mm around f5,6 on Sony A7II.

I guess when you make a lens with a limited zoom range it better be good at the range it does. No compromises because at the cost if iq due to stretching the optical capabilities of the glass.

A colourless way of looking at it.

Super pic & composition! Like 1 small

Good lens too.

That looks like an architecturally very photogenic spot in Paris, the Tours de la Défense...

Yes it is Mark, thank you. Especially when you have a ray of light.

Good shot!

I have this lens and have found it to be nice.

I also bought the Canon 2.8 35-70mm, but unfortunately it was broken.
Now with high custom charges for items outside the EU here in Hungary
I haven't been buying any lenses. That's OK, I have enough, but I was curious
about the 35-70mm.

I do not have the big 35-70 but the flimsy F4 version is excellent when it does not wobble.

The late Chuck Westfall, a technical guru with Canon USA, opined that the 28-50 was Canon's sharpest FD zoom lens.

28-50 mm - that's another lens Wink

And i agree that it is an excellent but rather bulky lens

Oh, that's actually the lens I have, not the 28-55mm.
