Gregg - did you trade your Minolta for the Contax zoom? That contax has always been high on my list but the Minolta macro shoots so well, I\'ve never looked at replacing it.
Ha!! I still have it. But it is incapacitated at the moment. You know I converted it to f2.8, right. Well at one point I decided to return it to f3.5, and when I put it back, well, something was amiss
I just haven\'t gotten around to it yet. I loved your pics from Florida with yours, btw!!It\'s such a little fantastic lens.
As far as the Contax 35-70/3.4...this is my 4 time owning one, and the last time!! Picked this one up from a fellow Fm\'r and I couldn\'t pass it up. By far the best copy I\'ve had yet and while bigger, I still prefer it to most lenses. This copy is as sharp as I\'ve ever seen, throughout the range. At 50mm it is as good as my Loxia from f4 on, and @35mm I\'m stunned, really.
Going to have to get the MD 35-70 a go again though!
