Originally posted by malenisjaj Hi,
I have SMC-A 35-105/3.5 and I'm very satisfied with it, but since I'm trying to control myself over buying other lenses (LBA?!) and my next option would be SMC 100mm (or even SMC 85mm), I'm asking here is it wise to buy that primes if I already have them with "stack of primes" lens? I know that it's f3.5 but, is it "worth" to buy one or two primes (SMC)? Is IQ that better?
Thank you!
I haven't came across any lens qualifying as "stack of primes" - in fact most good primes would be way sharper at f3.5 than 35-105mm and offer better IQ.
Having said that, 35-105mm is indeed a nice lens as long as you keep your expectations in limit. I recently posted some pics from my mostly unused 35-105mm, if you like, check them out.
