I still like the 'A' Series version of the 35-70mm f/4
and the infinity focus is spot on, so ate 35mm you can
set it to f8 and infinity and not have to bother re-focussing.
It's also slightly sharper, but not as good as the
F 28-80mm.

The HDR was very mild just boosted the shadows from 1 shot.
It's not 3 shot HDR..... the horse wouldn't stay still that long
I might have been able to just lift the shadows enough
with curves.

one was f2.8 1/125 iso 1600 and other f5.6 1/125 iso 6400
The other lens is 1/125th ISO800 for both shots
Maybe the blades are sticking?

Why the need for a full frame?
Back in the film days, should you be tasked with preparing a slide show, would you want normal 35mm transparencies or half frame (=APS-C more or less)?
With everything else being equal, the 'full frame' 35mm ones would have more definition, less grain, look sharper, less prone to dust. Doesn't that apply to digital as well?

are about 6 versions of it inc. 'A' Series and Takumars.
The cheaper versions seem to have been made in the same
factory as the Takumars and have a red dot/wart near the
aperture ring.
The one to go for is the SMC (original) version which at the
time of release cost £200. Quite rare because of the original
cost, but they do crop up.
See also this thread.
The 24-90mm is also a very good lens.

As Algernon says - "Why carry a load of primes about when one zoom will do the job?"
