It's a bit smaller then my K35/3.5, the coating looks different and I don't think it gives as pleasing a rendition of colors. Reds always seem very 'hot' with it. This one's pretty beat up compared to the K which is virtually new condition. I'm probably not being very fair in the comparison. The K35/3.5 is one of my favorites, I even like it better than the K35/2 I just spent a bundle on. ;-/ The K goes to F22 so I suspect it's more similar to the older version of the ST.
