I don't have the 35/2.0 but I do have the 28/2.8 and the 24/2.0 and
they're both excellent lenses. I couldn't give you an optical evaluation
right off the top of my head but I find the 28/2.8 to be an outstanding
normal lens on the ist-D. In fact, I've said in the past that I think
the 28/2.8 is Pentax's most underrated lens, because it isn't really
wide, really fast or exotic enough to give it technical "sex appeal".
It's just an excellent, sharp lens. Its only drawback is some light
falloff in the corners when wide open. Not really an issue with a
small-frame DSLR.

The 24/2.0 is brilliant in its own right, but a little large to serve as
a standard normal lens.
