Re: Panasonic 35-100 f2.8 for me

If you do a search you'll find another thread on this

I also contributed there

But in summary

I bought and sold the 35-100mm in favor of the 40-150mm

Then I realized I used the shorter focals more often so bought back the 35-100mm

and sold the 40-150mm

Both are sharp, no doubt

I prefer the bokeh on the 35-100mm

The 40-150mm could be fussy at times

Key thing is the 35-100mm is quite small and can easily be mounted on a Pen like body and used for streets without alarming anyone

Both are weatherproof so can be used with weatherproof bodies

I use my 75-300mm for longer reach; not quite as good as the 40-150mm but again lighter and smaller

Cheers,
