Ralf (and Tom)
Thanks. I ordered the 35-70/3,6 today, with original hood and some other
goodies. Will have it thursday. I also went with my 35-70/3,5-4,5 to a shop
and swapped it right off for a mint F280 flash.
In some days the wifey and me are going way up north to Lofoten in Norway,
to see the all-night sun and the green fjords. Hope to post some pictures in
august.

with the polarizer.
I own one and have bought a 35-70/3.5-4.5 for my fiancee, so this is
myopinion about the two lenses.
The F3.6 lens is a pro one so it is well build, all metal, the F3.5-4.5
instead seems me a little bit plastic.
But this means also that the F3.6 is heavier (it weight about the double of
the F3.5-4.5).
The main advantage of the F3.6 version is that it is easier to focus with,
and I find the 3.5-4.5 slighty
difficult to focus.
From the performance point of view, I don't expect improvement: both are
fine performer, even wide open.
