[QUOTE="craig-uk, post: 691549, member: 46076"] Tom, Theres a few versions out there and I am a little confused as to which version has the Angenieux heritage. You have the F/2.8 version, which according to my research was for the Japanese market. These seem to be the ones that are most available as apposed to the F2.6-2.8 versions (which I know for sure have the Angenieux link). Angenieux made high qaulity lenses back in the film days. They teamed up with Tokina at some point I think it was to help them develop an AF system. Legend has it that after Angenieux was bought by another company they dedicated their time to making lenses for movie cameras and lenses for military use. It was then Tokina created these cult lenses using the Angenieux system. I might be wrong on the final points but thats the general jist. How was the weight of your 28-70mm compaired to your N24-70?
