Hi,
I've had access to the "M" version, which I think is optically the same. I think you'd find it fine for quick snaps. It's not bad wide open but does improve with stopping down. It's not in the same league as the K35/3.5 but I think it would be pretty hard to see the difference in 4X6 prints.....
Many of the "M" 35/2.8's were afflicted with "slow" aperture syndrome, don't know if that was corrected with the "A" series but you may want to ask a few questions of the seller or check it out ahead of time......
HTH,
William in Utah.

Subject: SMCP A 35/2.8 any good?
I've been looking for a decent A type 35mm to use as a normal lens on the D.
I understand the A35/2.8 is pretty soft wide open but does anyone know how
it
is otherwise?
I have a nice K 35/3.5 but want something to use in P or Av mode for every-
day quick "snaps".
TIA Don
