I don't remember the allusion (sp) that you refer to, but I do
remember reading a comparison between wideangles one a 2.8, one a 2,
in Amateur Photographer (UK) about 20 years ago. The result was
that the faster lens was softer at open apertures. But it was a long
time ago (well it must have been as one of the lenses was new out!).

BTW, your type is really quite small on my machine (Eudora on a PowerMac). cb
Hi Folks,
I believe that this was eluded to a couple of days ago, but there
hasn't been much comment on it so I thought I might raise it again.
The question is are there cases, where zuikos of the same focal
length are offered in different models, when one should not look to
purchase the lens with the fastest aperature. I'm thinking, for
example, of the 35-70mm with f3.6, f3.5-4.5, f4 or the 100mm f2 vs
f2.8, 135mm f2.8 vs f3.5 etc. Are their situations where the slower
lens is actually of better quality than the faster? Or situations
where the jump to the faster aperature results in a disproportionate
increase in price vs performance? I think this info would be
valuable to those of us zuikoholics that are relatively new to all
of this.
Thanks,
Bruce
