Hej Bernd

I think that 1000dkr is still a very good price for the 3.6 ! At the time that I
bought it, Tuxen in kbh had one for 3000dkr...I was lucky enought to buy the
important lenshood from Tuxen from their lens for 200kr.

Regarding my comment re zoom/focus, I was referring to Henrik Dahl's problem
with maintaining focus whilst zooming. My 3.6 maintains perfect focus
registration during a zoom; Henrik's did not. I have had a Tamron 60-300 with
the same problem; it was fixed during a service for something else, I had not
noticed the problem! I think that it is more obvious with a two-touch/ring zoom
if there is a fault. I always focus first at 70mm, and then zoom.

mvh / regards
Roger

Yes. therfore I like it a lot. And 1000 DKK is a good price for the 3.6, isn't
it?

Do you mean the clearly separated focus and zoom grips or the non-rotating front
element?
