The 24-70/4.0 is not so usefull when you already have the 2.8S version. It's only marginal smaller in size. What's very frustrating with the f/4 lens you have to 'open' the lens, otherwise it won't work.

This is not a star. It is modest, humble and can be bought for next to nothing. No hype for sure.

It does nothing wrong. No defects, no "character". Perhaps a precursor of modern lenses. But there is no bad 135mm, right?

So it is a honest and straight lens. Size and weight are just perfect for someone like me who does not want to get embarrassed with gear.

My only problem with this lens? I do not grab it often enough for a sortie. But when I do, I never regret.

Greetings from France. A quick look on your Flickr gallery shows a lot of interesting work. Glad to see people still involved in analogue photography which I have abandoned long time ago.

Was about to pinch it of my freshly cleaned garden furniture this afternoon, but luckily i hesitated and gave it a closer look. Soon concluded that it was completely motionless, which, slowly started me bringing more gear. Looks like an exoskeleton of something. Anybody’s got a clue?

For now I did the safe thing: I pulled the trigger on a Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S Macro Lens. I Guess if I have a favorite focal length it is 105mm. When I bought my first serious camera, a Nikkormat FTN my first lens was a 55/3.5 Micro-Nikkor followed by a 105mm f/2.5.

The Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S is a bit smaller and lighter than the Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G VR and thankfully lacks the latter's longitudinal chromatic aberration. I consider the old 105/2.8 lens to be somewhat at the mid to lower end of a good lens for that aberration.

The new 105/2.8 is a substantial lens. I wish the girth and length were a bit less but it's not the honker that the old lens was.

I'm still considering my options for a mid range zoom.

I've got 24-70 f4, I find it very good for every day use , its small (collapsible) and light but f4 is limited to have bokeh in your photos
