Pop photo (May 2003) had a review of the 80-160 and the 35 f3.5 ...both were rated very highly. Their comment on the 80-160 ""A superb mid range zoom." And, about the 35 they said "We were particularly impressed by the image quality in the corners of the field (which surpassed even the 35mm Carl Zeiss Distagon for the Contax 645 tested in November'99). And in their conclusion ..."This lens offers outstanding performance that sets a new and higher standard for ultra wide-angle lenses for medium format cameras."
If I won the sweepstakes I think I would move up to 645, and Pentax would be my first choice. Not only because they have the best selection of lenses, but also because these are very highly rated. Cheers, Mike. -----Original Message----- From: kanga [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: June 28, 2003 12:19 AM To: pdml Subject: any experiences with Pentax 645 FA 33-55mm and 80-160mm zooms are they any good do they have problems wih flare i wish it was a tad wider maybe a 29-55mm would be more suitable
