Re: How do the Contax C/Y Vario-Sonnar 35-70/3.4 and Leica Vario-Elmar-R 35-...


It is said that the Vario Sonnar R 35-70mm F/3.5 used the same optics like Minolta
https://phillipreeve.net/blog/minolta-md-zoom-35-70mm-3-5-review/
The Minolta zoom is very good but I think it is slightly behind the primes in the corners. The Zeiss 35-70mm on the other hand competes very nicely with the primes at f 5.6 and f8. So I dont think the Minolta or Leica 3.5 35-70mm would add value to your C/Y...
But you are asking about the Vario Elmar F4, so I dont know but check here:
