Re: 12-35mm f/2.8: What's the verdict?

In reply to dotborg, 7 months ago

Similar to others experience, my wife and I sold our 12 2.0 and 25 1.4 and recouped enough to purchase a 12-35. Good lenses tend to hold their value and it was a good choice for us.

We agree with other posters that the 12-35 performs similar to the 12 2.0; and is good enough for us.

We have not yet missed the faster speed of the 25, are satisfied with the 12-35, and may buy a second one as a kit with a GH3 because we both enjoy shooting wide and like the 12-35's versatility and other design attributes.

All evolves.
