Re: FAJ 18-35 vs. FA 20-35?

[Arnold Stark]

Do you have any proof for this? In my opinion, the low price of the 
FA-J18-35 are a result of 1.) the omission of the aperture ring, 2.) a 
plastic lens mount, and 3.) of the slow speed of this lens. Other than 
that I see no evidence that the FA-J18-35 is inferiour to the FA20-35, 
neither optically nor mechanically.

Heiko, the FA 20-35 f4 is one of Pentax's best. It has been my 
favorite lens, and the one that has given me keeper after keeper.

The FAJ is a cheap, entry-level lens, created so that digital kits can 
be offered at a low price. If you can afford the FA 20-35, it will be 
much better.
