Understood, but I treat it as a speciality landscape prime in zoom 
clothing esp at the short end. From what I have seen the Contax N 24-85 
converted more resembles the Zeiss rendering of the c/y 35-70 than the 
Canyon 24-105. I never recall a landscape being better with the 24-105 
than the Zeiss 35-70. The C/Y behaves better with the sun in the frame 
IIRC than the Contax N but the latter is fully automatic on Canyon.

It is a bit of a dust pump one touch zoom. if I didn't get a mint copy 
for a good price or had the Zuiko 35-80 I wouldn't have bothered.
The microcontrast/rendering for some images is just the ticket, however.

I think it will make the cut on the upcoming trip as well as the 4T or 
perhaps the my trusty OM2 if John finishes up with it.  Marnie doesn't 
like the 4T LCD business.

Bag is too heavy already, Mike
