Sometimes we all become too interested in the camera body because that is where most of the gadgets are. But it is the lens that makes the picture and most often the lens has a more direct influence on the eventual image quality 'output'. If economy is a consideration, you should consider buy a less expensive camera body rather than less expensive lenses. If you buy a SLR camera with only one lens is also not logical because you might as well buy a cheaper camera with a fixed, non-interchangeable lens like a P&S. But modern lenses has such fantastic features such as high power zoom with previously unimaginable zoom range which actually makes a single-lens-do-all photographic system viable. All those messages posted on the variuos Message Boards for SLR Models are not short of interesting comment and remarks on lenses. Well, not to confuse others who are just interested in cameras, I thought there is a neccessity for a separate Message Board for those who are interested in discussion on various issues on lenses as well..

Thanks Luigi, But how much of a difference is there between f3.5, like the 35-105mm lens has, and the f4.0, like the 28-85mm has? Isn't that only a 1/2 stop increase? The 35-105mm lens looks like it is built a lot better, but does it weigh so much more that I would feel like I'm lugging around my camera with the 100-300mm f5.6 around? Sorry to ask to many questions, but I don't want to make a mistake, buy one lens, and wish I had bought the other. Thanks to all for the help.2. From : Luigi D. Sandon (cp@sandon.it)

Craig: the 28-85/4 is lighter but has two disadvantages, its relatively small maximum aperture and its "plastic" barrel - one of the few later FD lenses that introduced it - that makes it less tough than other FD lenses. In turn if offers a better "wide angle" view. I own one, and it became my preferred "all purpose lens" when I want to travel light. IMHO it has good sharpness and colors. As usual, the "best" lens it the "best" for you needs.3. From : Kakaman (mail_will_bounce@mir.com.my)

Craig,
The most important consideration is that the 28/85 f4 and the 35/105 f3.5 are two touch zooms, the later 35/105 has combined focus/zoom ring. I have always preferred to use two touch zooms when the need arises, but you might have different views.
I really prefer prime lenses, the 35/105 lenses were purchased specifically for recording arson scenes. In dangerous situations you cannot always have the luxury of lens changes. However I would never consider the 28/85, because in this range I require lenses with a much larger maximum aperture.
All three lenses will produce good results, you pay the money and takes your pick. My two early 35/105 lenses have produced exceptional results under some very poor lighting conditions.
All I will add, is that poor servicing/repair will make a right mess of the image quality from all three lenses - get a good honest one.5. From : Lawrence (Renceindy@hotmail.com)

Thank you Robert.
Do you have any thoughts about the FD 28-85mm f4.0 lens?
It looks like its a little smaller than the 35-105mm (earlier version) and probably lighter.
I guess the deciding factor is picture quality. Of the three lenses (28-85, and the two 35-105mm) I would like to know which one give the best results.
Thanks so much for everyone's help.

Craig,
If you do not want a particularly heavy lens, get the 35-105mm f3.5/4.5 later version. This lens takes 58mm filters and has a molded aspherical element in its rear group. It is simple to use and gives good images.
The earlier f3.5 version is a noticeably heavier lens - it uses 72mm filters - but does have a proper macro setting catch. I prefer this version, as when mounted on the T90 it gives a well balanced combo. My two came from the first batch into the UK and and I have used them all my professional life. The lens is capable of producing superb images.
Some people have said they prefer the later (smaller) lens, especially when they are using the A Series cameras. I have used the early version on my A1 bodies and find the combination comfortable to use.8. From : Craig Zander (craig_zander@yahoo.com)

Dear FD Lens Users,
Does anyone have any opinions on the Canon FD 35-105mm lens? Either the newer one or the original one.
Recently, I used a Canon camera with the newer EF lens of about the same focal range, and I loved having the flexibility without changing lenses. So I want to get an FD lens like that for my AE-1P.
Is the 35-105mm lens sharp?
Is it too bulky?
Is is hard to operate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
