Yakim Peled Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #1 · Are there Mamiya 35/3.5 variations? Hi, I'm thinking about buying this lens but before I do I want to make sure I'm buying the right one. This lens is an N model. Are there other models? If so, what are the differences between them? A note: I'm only interested in the manual focus variations as these are the only ones with aperture rings. Happy shooting, Yakim. Jul 09, 2009 at 06:55 PM

adamM Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #2 · Are there Mamiya 35/3.5 variations? Not sure if there's other variants, i don't believe there are. I have this lens and it's exceptional on 645. Wide open it's a touch soft, but it's very sharp by f8. Great colour rendition. I haven't yet tried it on an EOS with adapter... Please post back your results. I've got a bunch of 645 lenses i'd like to try Jul 09, 2009 at 07:09 PM

mawz Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #3 · Are there Mamiya 35/3.5 variations? Yes, there's 3 variations. The original 35/3.5 C. This one is the poorest performer of the lot. I' avoid it unless the price is very good. The 35/3.5 S. Updated optics in the same type of barrel as the C. Same lower-contrast coatings as the C. The 35/3.5 N. The same optics as the S, but with the updated N coatings and the lighter N barrel with the plastic aperture ring. As far as I'm aware, the AF version is optically identical to the N (including coatings) Jul 09, 2009 at 07:10 PM
