Re: Pentax KA lenses: what's good and what lasts?

[Joe Wilensky]

The A 35mm f/2 is a lovely lens, with the same optical formula and 
build quality of the M version, but with A contacts and perhaps the 
improved A coatings. It seems to have build quality equal to or 
better than the A 50 f/1.4, another very nice example of an A lens, 
as opposed to the plasticky A 50/1.7 and A 28/2.8 lenses.
