I can't seem to find much info on some of the telephoto primes. I just received the 200mm 5.6 today in the mail, but haven't had time to play with it yet because it gets dark too fast after work. I found this while looking for the 200mm 3.5 which I heard great things about. It still evades me to this day. More seem to be popping up on ebay at higher prices. I try looking for pictures taken by these lens but can't really find much except for the same pictures over and over again. They all seem like sharp lens also which is always a plus.
The 200mm 5.6 was way smaller than what the picture of it made it out to be. I at first thought that it would be about the same thickness as the 135mm 2.5 lens, but lighter is also good too when carrying. The preset aperture is cool, it didn't take me long after playing with it at work to figure out out how it worked. Seem like a useful concept and made me think why lens today don't have the aperture in the front of the lens.
How does the 3.5 compare to the 5.6 model or the 4.0? \
