The slower versions, most shots were done with a 28-80 f/3.6-4.5
(or something like that), but he has the 70-210 also. But my 35/2.8
is basically a consumer lens, albeit based on 1970s "consumer"
SLR standards...
He plans to trade both in on a 24-120 someday, which he had used
in Japan. I've heard this is an excellent lens, and a zoom range we
can only dream about...
