J does indeed indicate the lack of an aperture ring. Only FA J and DA

It's reportedly excellent for the cost, but not up to the 20-35/4 in

Thanks, Adam. I'll consider this lens more seriously - might suit
my buget and
short/long term uses quite well.
One thing, though, is that the FA20-35/4 AL is good enough to obviate
the need for primes in this range if f/4 is fast enough for your
uses. It's not cheap but it's well worth it to me... it's perhaps my
most used lens now.
