The Zeiss Contax Vario Sonnar 35-70mm has a cult-like following. You will be hard-pressed to find any reference to it that is anything short of glowing. You might encounter a sourpuss here and there who may complain about it being a push-pull zoom, somewhat prone to zoom creep. When a lens is this otherworldly (perhaps this adjective has not been applied to the 35-70 Vario Sonnar before?) I could not care less.

For some, the existence and qualities of the little forty-year-old Minolta MD 35-70mm zoom may come as a shock. But I would venture that, for many other serious enthusiasts, this lens needs no introduction.
