Auto-Beroflex 35-100mm f/3.5-4.3

A great buy of a good workhorse lens Hadn't much opportunity to use the lens yet, but initial tests are very positive. Am very pleasantly happy with just how small and light the lens is for a 70-200 f2.8 equivalent. The Olympus 40-150 f2.8 Pro has an extra 100mm to work with, but it's also a considerably bigger, heavier and more expensive lens, and this Panasonic 35-100 f2.8 fits my requirements better. Also, coming as a Nikon user, Panasonic lens zoom the same direction, so it integrates with my muscle memory easier, especially for fast-paced shoots. The lens was also in significantly better condition than its listing of 'heavily used'. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase. This is my third time buying from the seller, and it won't be my last.

VERY compact for what it is! This is a lens that fits perfectly in my kit between the pro 12-40 and 45-150 zooms. When I don't want to carry the heavier and nearly twice as large 45-150, (which is also an amazing lens) It still gets me a 70-200mm equivalent in a 2.8 constant aperture lens, which was , for me, always a good range on 35mm film cameras. For some interesting comparisons see "shootout Olympus 45-150 vs Panasonic 35-100". If I could have only one of the two lenses, I'd probably choose the larger Olympus PRO, but it is especially nice to have both. These three lenses and a couple of small fast primes, on a weather-sealed body would set you up well for a round-the-world shoot. Though I use it mostly on OMD EM5 MkII and OMD EM-1, It is still small enough to balance well on my Pan GX85. Expensive, but worth every penny.Read full review

Bright, sharp, small, lightweight lens. Awesome lens. Great low-light ability, crisp and sharp, compact and lightweight. Paired it with an Olympus EM-10 mk iv. Works great for portraits and telephoto. 70-200 mm full frame equivalent.
