(I generally won't use a zoom lens if the maximum aperture is smaller than f/4.) Anyway, this lens is already about maximum acceptable size and weight for hand-held use, and that is the purpose for which this lens was designed. The f/3.3-4 maximum aperture range is not the greatest, but it is acceptable for normal use. The 29-75 degree angular field will cover you in most everyday situations. I use this lens when I only want to carry one Carl Zeiss lens on a trip or outing and the 50/1.4 by itself won't do. This lens provides one of the most popular zoom ranges with photographers, and is also my favorite zoom range in the 35mm film world. I have not checked in detail, but there was no effect on metering.I presume there will be an effect when spot meterig is used with the cenrtal AF sensor.The Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar T* 28-85mm f/3.3-4 (MM) is an amazing precision work of metal and glass.

I bought the Canon screen from them (Ec-L=cross hair type). They make screens for the Nikon D700 using screens from Canon/ Nikon & custom make. This is a Taiwanese website (.excuse the poor english).

The split prism screen for nikon D700 (type 2,4,5) are designated P type and are custom produced (not from original factory.read Nikon screen) Someone has previously used these on dpreview and the user opinion was not very enthusiastic ( I had no issues with the screen or the company. Their website does not indicate where the screens are made. ikon-D700-Focusing-Screen-prod_D700.html The manufacturers who make split image/ micro prism focussing screens for Nikon D700. I had posted this in an earlier thread and apologize for posting it again.I am doing so because that thread denigrated into a lot of personal mudslinging (no offense to the thread starter or the other posters) (Īnyway, coming to the relevant section of my post.

This is mainly for photgraphers looking for a solution. I had done some research on the above subject, have some personal experience and have posted the relevant info.
