I'd appreciate it if you could dig out that lens report on the A 28-135/4 and report back to us with the specific comparison that preferred the A 35-105/3.5. I also took a look into "the archives" here, and found three relevant reports: Two of these are similar to what you have described, where Popular Photo tested the Super Program with the A 28-135/4 (Jan., 1984) and the Program Plus with the A 35-105/3.5 (Dec., 1984). However, the lens portions of the two reviews do not compare the two lenses with each other at all, so ~that~ can't be where the "A35-105/3.5 was prefered". (Actually, I've always found the Pop Photo lens reviews of that era to be less useful than those of Modern Photo, but I digress...) I don't seem to have any review from Modern Photography of either lens. I did find a copy of a review from Amateur Photographer of the Super A and the A 28-135/4 (Aug. 6, 1983), and I think I'll post the lens-related portions of that review to this list shortly.
