: FA 35/2 available
HI Joe,
Have you tested the 35/2 and the 31 Limited? I'd love to see a real
side-by-side comparison of these lenses. Yoshito Takinami's tests show
that the FA 35/2 achieved better numbers than any other Pentax lens
he's ever tested from f5.6 all the way through f11. As of last

Hi, Paul. I own the 31, and my lab owns the 35. I have use of it any
time. I have used them side-by-side, but have not done as systematic a
test as I have taken to doing lately. My comments are based on both my
experience and the quantitative

Yepper. They still have the FA28/2.8 AL and the FA28/2.8 soft on the

An FA 35/2 AL would be nice, but I'm on a lens purchase moratorium

Hi Shel,
I don't own the 31 ltd, so I can't really compare. The FA 35/2 comes with a
good reputation for sharpness, and its labeled the same as the limited with the
AL suffix. The limited lens is much prettier and probably better built, but
it sells for nearly three times the price of the 35/2.

You will, of course, let us know when you've received the lens, preferably

That would explain it, first purchase.
