im happy to see some landscape pictures with the VS 35-70!
i have found two good examples of that lens here in italy,one for 200E. other for 250E treatable,is a good price?
i bought a c/y planar 50 1.4, nowi think to buy one 35-70 to add to my planar 100 f2
200-250 euros is a very good price for the 35-70. I've had some problems with two copies that I bought though (one was hanging the mirror and didn't reach infinity, one had a broken screw on the mount).

Definitely. It should make a great addition to your 100/2 for wider and stopped down shooting. In fact, that would make a great two-lens kit for landscape unless wou're into UWAs.
Got a chance to shoot my C/Y Zeiss 80-200mm today. It reminds me of a weaker 35-70 in rendering (contrast, fine detail, saturation) and that's not a bad thing. Still a strong lens. Shot it mostly at F8 or F5.6
Great shots everyone!
Michael49 – nice examples with the CZJ 35 f/2.5. I have one currently en route with high hopes it will replace my Mamiya 35 3.5.
Flashinm and FlyPenFly – nice pics with the Vario Sonnar 80-200. I’ve had mine for almost a year now and it has a permanent place in my bag. Love that lens!

Thanks.
Its not the sharpest lens at the edges, but its plenty sharp in the center. I'm willing to give up some edge sharpness for its impressive MFD. f/4 on a 5d...

Dave -- Beautiful shots of NYC with your 80-200. Really amazing if those are f/4 -- would you mind checking?
I guess I'll have to break mine out again after these.
Gunzorro - Thanks. The first two from top of Empire State Building I'm sure were taken at f/4. As for the one in Times Square - probably. (As you know - no EXIF.) In any case I shoot at f/4 quite often (especially for portraits) and am very happy with the results...and vignetting is super easy to correct in ACR.
Yes, I know what you mean about the nuisance of no exif info on exposure, or especially aperture. I've done a lot of aperture studies on a lens, and have to reconstruct what I did as I view in LR. Oh well. It keeps the prices down!
