Peter, I don't know how the Power Zoom 28-105 would handle on the LX. Most autofocus lenses are harder to focus manually than manual focus lenses (less resistance). It is a large lens, which is why it balances nicely on the large 1p. Joe Hi Joe, > > thanks for your information. I saw that a Ge

Peter, for the Z-1p you might also consider the Power Zoom FA 28-105 f4-5.6. This lens was designed for the Z-1p (I own two of these bodies, and have one of these lenses on each). It is a very good, sharp lens that gives 1:3 macro at 105 mm. It is an older design and is probably out of production

I'm thinking about buying a good and not too expensive "normal range" zoom lense to use on my Z1-p. There is the SMC-FA 28-70 mm/4,0 AL which I have seen. It seems to be quite good and not too pricy. There are also two newer lenses, both with more tele-range: 1) SMC-FA 24-90mm f/3.5-4.5 AL [IF] an
