I guess we have different ideas about what is acceptable ... from what I can see the lens is not very usable @ 2.8, except in certain situations, due to light fall off, and, of course, sharpness is difficult to judge on a computer screen. I went back to take another look at the full size pics and received a message that the foto was no longer on the site. So much for taking another look ;-)) Let's just agree to disagree. Mine's gone and I don't care if I ever see it again. I would not feel that way about the K35/3.5, or any number of other lenses.
