comment:	I keep looking to up grade this lens but cant find a lens worthy to replace it with! it is almost as sharp as the CZ 24-70 but has better color and contrast than the CZ, for portraits I like using this lens between 70mm to 105mm at f3.5 to f4.5 for all other shots I will close it down to f6.3 to f11, the 35-105 along with its big sister 70-210 f4 are hard to beat I have owned both for 25 + years and the only lens (35-105) that I have two copies of. Truly the best value for a normal zoom in the market today!
